Rock N' Rollin' Man Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Surely he will be missed. R.I.P. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/11/28/actor-leslie-nielsen-dies-of-complications-from-pneumonia/ Actor Leslie Nielsen, best known for his film roles in "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun" series, died Sunday of complications from pneumonia, his family said. Nielsen, 84, died in a hospital near his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, surrounded by his wife and friends.

ledzepfvr Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 My daughter told me about this a few minutes ago. Sad news. RIP Leslie Nielsen......and don't call me Shirley!! Quote
ebk Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 ...and don't call me Shirley... It will never get old. He was quite a good actor. He will be missed. Quote
SteveAJones Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Easily one of the best comedy actors of the past 30 yrs. I already have most of his films; this has prompted me to get the rest. Quote
redrum Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Easily one of the best comedy actors of the past 30 yrs. I already have most of his films; this has prompted me to get the rest. He played Commander J.J. Adams in 'Forbidden Planet' (1956) That movie scared the crap out of me as a kid. Quote
Reggie29 Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Dracula: Dead and Loving It is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. As far as I know it isn't available on DVD? Always good for a laugh was Les and a damn fine serious actor in his early years too. As a kid I used to watch Disney's Swamp Fox on TV. RIP mate. Quote
reids Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 He will be missed, indeed. I'll play some of his movies this week in honor of his life and work. R Quote
FireOpal Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Surely, he was a comedy icon. My brother and I used to watch "Naked Gun" and laugh our faces off. Quote
Dandu Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 He was one of the best, and the grandfather of a long line of Candian funny men. Quote

Black_Dog_90 Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 R.I.P. Leslie Nielsen. He was one of the greatest and one of my favorite comedy actors. He'll always be remembered, especially by his humor. Airlane! and Naked Gun series are definitely one of the funniest movies of all time. Quote
planta1963 Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 R.I.P. Lesley - you make me laugh when I`ve been to sad Quote
