Surely you can't be serious. I am serious... and don't call me Shirley

Leslie Nielsen died yesterday (Sunday)at 5:34 pm in Fort Lauderdale Fla
from complications from pneumonia, he was 84 years old (1926-2010)

For me he was best known for his role in Airplane and the Naked gun movies

I feel that we have has lost one of the worlds best funny men, he was one of my Favorite comedians, I will surely miss him

Big props to the legendary Canadian funny man! We Canucks are proud of our comedians. Nielson was awesome at his craft of being the deadpan buffoon... It didn't appeal to me all the time, but when I'm in a goofy mood it can be hilarious.

Another great one gone. I was just watching Airplane last week.

Sad to hear of his passing. What a great career he had; from Forbidden Planet to Naked Gun! I had no idea he's been on so many television shows!

RIP!

RIP. Very funny actor. A well respected leading man in the golden age of movies also.
