Leslie Neilsen of Naked Gun fame RIP

I do like the fact that everywhere I see on the web there's nothing but respect for the man and what he meant to their childhoods. One of the first times I was allowed to stay up late was to watch Airplane! and he was always my favourite character.

I loved the bit where the stewardess asks him if he's a doctor, he's just sitting there with a pair of stethoscopes in his ears and says with a dead serious face: "Yes', I am a doctor."

A great testament to the work he did that will carry on for years.

Police Squad is one of the funniest series of all time. The scene from 5 minutes on in this is my favourite scene from anything ever

I'm at work but I was listening to that while doing my work. I have seen each episode of that series hundreds of times and now I want to watch them again. "A big monster came and took him to daddy heaven"

Nice beaver.
Thanks, I just got it stuffed.

R.I.P Leslie....Will never grow old of his work.

RIP will have to watch Airplane or Spy Hard today.

Anybody else think when there was talk of a Father Ted movie when they the rumour was Steve Martin that it would have to be Leslie Nielsen. Well bar Dermot himself. Another great comic actor. I'd say the two of these guys were my favourite for Comedic timing and facial expressions.. OJ was suprisingly good at the facial expressions too.

Ah crap, not good news to hear at all today.

I'll be sure to watch Airplane and the Naked Guns films over Christmas, now.

RIP Leslie.

Hate to be picky etc but that was the pilot in 'Airplane!'
Still funny tho

Was not a big fan of his, but acknowledge his contribution to comedy as an art.

RIP.

My day became that much darker when I heard about this. King of Spoof
