	Nielsen is the son of a mountie and was raised in the North West Territories (for non-Canadians, that's really far north).

	Seems a Naked Gun 4 is in the works with Leslie coming back, for which I am very excited. His deadpan comedy just kills me. Even the lesser quality stuff that just kinda seems to rip off Naked Gun is still hilarious with him. -----signature----- Proud Co-Founder of the F.A.D.A. ™ (Fans Against Dead Anakins) Charles Nelson Reilly won the Tour De France with two flat tires and a missing chain. ?_?

	Christopher Plummer Arthur Christopher Orme Plummer, CC (born on December 13, 1929) is a Canadian theater, film and television actor. In a career that spans over five decades and includes substantial roles in film, television, and theater, Plummer is perhaps best known for the iconic role of Captain Georg von Trapp in The Sound of Music. Plummer's eclectic career on screen began in 1958 when Sidney Lumet cast him as a young writer in Stage Struck. Since then he has appeared in a vast number of notable films which include The Man Who Would Be King, The Fall of The Roman Empire, Jesus of Nazareth, Battle of Britain, Waterloo, The Silent Partner, Dragnet, Inside Daisy Clover, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Malcolm X, Dolores Claiborne, Wolf, Twelve Monkeys, Murder by Decree, Somewhere in Time and Syriana. Recent successes include Michael Mann's Oscar-nominated The Insider playing television journalist Mike Wallace, for which he won the Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas and the National Critics Awards, and Ron Howard's Academy Award winning A Beautiful Mind as well. He played Arthur Case in Spike Lee's 2006 film Inside Man, and the philosopher Aristotle in Alexander, alongside Colin Farrell. In 2004, Plummer played John Adams Gates in National Treasure. Owing to the box office success and continued popularity of The Sound Of Music (1965), Plummer is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Captain Von Trapp, a role he reportedly disliked. He is now engaged in a movie directed by Tim Burton and Shane Acker called "9", which is currently in the production phase.

	Tall, handsome actor, but just a trifle dull.

	He is absolutely incredible in The Insider, playing Mike Wallace, opposite Russell Crowe and Al Pacino. It's a supporting performance, and he's dealing with two of the greatest actors alive, but he still crackles. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	Only seen a handful of his films, but he's been either excellent or at least really good in most of them - The Sound of Music, The Insider, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (pure awesomeness as a Klingon general ), and A Beautiful Mind. The one exception was The Fall of the Roman Empire - his portrayal of Commodus didn't work for me, though to be fair that whole film was a bit hit and miss anyway. -----signature----- Without my ignorance your knowledge would be useless.

	Yes to the miss, but what hit? A character actor, I think. Very skilled, but a little lacking in star quality.

	I think he's really handsome in Sound of Music, even if it's quite obvious that he isn't actually singing any of the songs. -----signature----- "That is the beauty of grand opera; you can do anything...as long as you sing it" Anna Russell

	I'm no fan of Sound of Music (understatement alert!), but Plummer's performance in maybe the first half of the film is actually very good and often very witty. He's the only thing in that movie that even half works, if you ask me. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine
