I loved this guy so much. ;____;

I will remeber him fondly.  I remeber seeing naked gun movies in theaters growing up......lord what were my parents thinking?

Leslie Nielsen movies are probably partially to blame for my love of very bad puns.

I know what you're thinking .. surely you must be kidding.

No, I'm serious.. and stop calling me Shirley.

At least he died in the comfort of a hospital (a big building with patients).

D: He will be missed. I still remember him from when I was little watching Mr.Magoo. May he rest in peace.

taken from wiki:

Canadian–American actor and comedian. Nielsen appeared in over one hundred films and 1,500 television programs over the span of his career, portraying over 220 characters

He was also making movies right till the end. I've got to admit, starring well into your 80's: that's pretty legend.

1,500 TV shows?? *mind boggles*

Airplane was the most randomly-quoted movie in my elementary school. Even more than Star Wars.

Now you guys have to watch Forbidden Planet. He starred, and it was mentioned in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

He looked kind of like my grandfather. Big ears and all. Just no glasses.

I was just wondering about him this week. Sad to find out.

I will try to Netflix it.

I first saw Leslie Nielsen years ago when i watched a rerun of Forbidden Planet. He was terrific as J.J. Adams. He will definitely be missed.

Surely he's in a better place, he will be missed.
