Frank Drebin is a member of Police Squad, a special department of the police force, where he served for many years. He is known for being a bumbling fool, causing lots of problems, often more than he solves, but being entirely oblivious to it all. He works under police Captain Ed Hocken (Alan North/George Kennedy). In Police Squad, he works with Norberg (Peter Lupus). In the Naked Gun series, he works with Nordberg (O.J. Simpson). He and Ted Olson (scientist) are the only characters that appeared in both Police Squad! and the Naked Gun films and were portrayed by the same actor.
