29. Frank patted me on the back while I was wheelchair bound, and I went down a flight of steps and became even more critically injured than I already was. Who am I?
From Quiz Who Played Me in "The Naked Gun"?
Answer:
O.J. Simpson
Simpson, born in 1947 in San Francisco, California, landed the role of Detective Nordberg. Nordberg worked for the Los Angeles Police Department, and was in the opening scene when he went to investigate some suspected criminals that were on a ship. Nordberg attempted to kick in the door but his foot got stuck. The men in the boat got out their guns and Nordberg broke the door down. He told them he was a police officer and to throw down their guns. Instead, the men shot Nordberg, multiple times, and Nordberg fell back and hit his head. He continued to stumble and he got his foot stuck in a bear trap, and fell overboard. He was found and hospitalized. When Frank went to see Nordberg in the hospital, Nordberg told him he loved him. Nordberg uttered the word "ship", and Frank said that they would go out fishing on his boat when Nordberg got better. Nordberg then said "drugs" so Frank instructed the nurse to give him some drugs. Nordberg stated "heroin", and Frank informed Nordberg to give him a couple of days to get that one. Just then, Frank saw a picture and the boat was named "I Love You" and it had drugs on it, so Frank realized Nordberg was talking about the people he saw on the boat. At the end of the movie, Nordberg arrived at the stadium where the California Angels played ball, and he told Frank he was doing much better. Frank patted Nordberg, on the back with such force that Nordberg went crashing down the steps and he fell onto the field. Simpson reprised his role of Nordberg in "The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear" and "The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult." He was also in the film "No Place to Hide."
