Nielsen wasn’t considered a comedic actor before his role in Airplane and he was cast because they wanted him to bring the serious, dramatic actor presence/reputation to the role, so it’s worked before
Oh I didn’t mean it in a bad way. The dramatic Neeson with Naked Gun style humor worked on me. I don’t remember the original movies that much but I felt it did have similar energy.
That’s casting I would least expect.
