craig charles in red dwarf is classic

i think the key is that the role fits his personality so he didn't have to act much

also, everything leslie nielsen touched in the 80's was gold

I was so used to Leslie Nielsen being a comedic actor that I was legitimately caught off guard seeing him in dramatic roles, like in Forbidden Planet

I guess his serious acting chops is why him in Airplane! was a real coup because audiences were expecting a serious film (afterall, it has Leslie Nielsen in it!)

Red Dwarf is an all time classic

OK so they used to play Red Dwarf on local PBS station KTEH-54 in San Jose as part of Sci-Fi Sunday, and the Boys from the Dwarf would regularly visit the station and just have lots of fun during their PBS pledge drives. It sucks because a lot of that footage is lost to time but I love seeing it when it reappears now and then:

I think I should be honest with you: I didn’t laugh. Not once. I WANTED to laugh after reading your big buildup. I was WAITING to laugh, but it just didn’t happen.
