Do you enjoy watching him act?

Then he's a good actor.

That's why some actors are good actors, others might be good comedic/dramatic/action actors but bad at other types of acting.

Heck, no one knew Leslie Neilson was a good comedic actor until Airplane! (the man had been acting for over 20 years by that point). Suddenly he gets an entirely new career as a comedic actor.

In music, if it sounds good, it is good.

It's incredible to watch "Forbidden Planet" THEN watch him in "Airplane" and think these are the same guys.

M*A*S*H, "The Ringbanger" (1973)

A must-watch for any Nielsenologist. There are moments, especially in the scene where Frank Burns tries to examine him, where LN's facial expressions and line readings are totally Frank Drebin.
