Gleason tuvo un lado dramático que el patetísmo cómico de Poor Soul a menudo dejaba entrever. Se ganó elogios por interpretaciones en ''The laugh maker'' en los ''Studio One'' de la CBS.
But he won acclaim plus a hardware nomination for his portrayal of [[Minnesota Fats]] in the [[1961 in film|1961]] [[Paul Newman]] movie ''[[The Hustler]],'' in which Gleason (who had hustled pool growing up in Brooklyn) made his own pool shots. He earned an [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] nomination as Best Supporting Actor for the role. He was also well-received as a beleaguered boxing manager in the movie version of [[Rod Serling]]'s ''[[Requiem for a Heavyweight]]'' (1962), which also featured [[Anthony Quinn]], [[Mickey Rooney]], and (under his birth name, [[Cassius Clay]]) [[Muhammad Ali]]. Gleason also played a world-weary Army sergeant, with [[Steve McQueen]] supporting him as a [[Gomer Pyle]]-like private and [[Tuesday Weld]] as his love interest, in ''[[Soldier in the Rain]]'' (1962). He played the lead in the [[Otto Preminger]] all-star flop ''[[Skidoo (film)|Skidoo]]'' (1966), co-starring [[Groucho Marx]], in which Gleason's character and half the cast is imprisoned in [[Prisión de Alcatraz|Alcatraz]] and trips on [[LSD]] (including the guards, played by [[Slim Pickens]] and [[Fred Clark]]).
More than a decade passed before Gleason had another hit film. Then, he turned up as vulgar sheriff [[Buford T. Justice]] in the popular ''[[Smokey and the Bandit]]'' series. (After [[Burt Reynolds]] declined to do a third film in the series, Gleason was signed up for a dual role as Smokey ''and'' the Bandit, but preview audiences are said to have been confused and [[Jerry Reed]]'s role from the first two movies was promptly beefed up to replace Gleason's footage as the Bandit and make up for Reynolds' absence.)
