htown11 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Surely, you can't be serious. Fans of Leslie Nielsen will most certainly be repeating that classic bit of Airplane! dialogue today (as well as its rejoinder: "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."). Nielsen, a journeyman actor who later found fame with comedy roles in Airplane! and The Naked Gun series, died late Sunday afternoon of complications from pneumonia, E! News has confirmed. He was 84. "We are saddened by the passing of beloved actor Leslie Nielsen, probably best remembered as Lt. Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun series of pictures, but who enjoyed a more than 60 year career in motion pictures and television," a rep for Nielsen's family tells E! News. RIP very sad, will be missed greatly, Airplane is comedic genius.

Oliver P Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) Dam that's really sad to hear... One of my very favorite actors ever. The three Naked Gun movies are three of the funniest movies ever without a doubt I dunno how many times I watched them... As well as Airplane! of course, four comedy masterpices fo sure. He also had a little role in The Poseidon Adventure, I'm talking about the 72 version of course, the real one. One of my favorite movies. And he also played in two episodes of my favorite TV show ever, Columbo. And in a lot of other TV shows anyway... Yeah, very sad news.... So long Sir Nielsen, you'll be missed !
