Despite decades spent playing sober commanders and serious captains, Leslie Nielsen insisted that he was always made for comedy. He proved it in his career’s second act. “Surely you can’t be serious,” an airline passenger says to Nielsen in “Airplane!” the 1980 hit that turned the actor from dramatic leading man to comic star. “I am serious,” Nielsen replies. “And don’t call me Shirley.” The line was probably his most famous – and a perfect distillation of his career. “I’ve finally found my home – as Lt. Frank Drebin,” he told The Associated Press in a 1988 interview. Nielsen came to Hollywood in the mid-1950s after performing in 150 live television dramas in New York. With a craggily handsome face, blond hair and 6-foot-2 height, he seemed ideal for a movie leading man. His first film for that studio was auspicious – as the space ship commander in the science fiction classic “Forbidden Planet.” He found his best dramatic role as the captain of an overturned ocean liner in the 1972 disaster movie, “The Poseidon Adventure.” He played Debbie Reynolds’ sweetheart in 1957′s popular “Tammy and the Bachelor,” and he became well known to baby boomers for his role as the Revolutionary War fighter Francis Marion in the Disney TV adventure series “The Swamp Fox.” Continue reading ‘Leslie Nielsen RIP’

Duty, Honor, Patriotism. All great reasons to be a soldier, but usually not what a person thinks about when joining up. For most young people, the ideas swirling around enlistment in the armed forces involve career training, escape from a small town or inner city, and even possibly the chance to live out the video game experience in real combat. Such esoteric concepts as Pride and Duty are for older soldiers looking back fondly on the fire and zeal of youth. For the 22 year old grunt in the field, finding a place to sleep and avoiding RPGs are more immediate concerns. With Memorial Day close upon us, TomorrowPictures.TV is proud to present an original series called A Soldier’s Story. This is real talk with real soldiers, with footage taken by them from the battle zone. In the first episode, Army Sgt. Kenyon Johnson and his wife Amy talk about the reasons a young man joins the military, and the effort it takes a new family to survive the strain of active service. Join TomorrowPictures.TV in saluting the brave men and women who defend our liberties with their lives. Watch Part Two on Episodics!

Dune Roller, an episode of the 50′s Sci-Fi series Tales of Tomorrow(Pictures), is based on the short story of the same title by Julian May.
