Leslie Nielsen - RIP

sad news

was probably watching the cricket, bored him to death

He was just about to start filming an American version of Father Ted. Lou Carpenter is doing the Australian version, I believe.

In which case; "feck"

as it was the yank version

fanny

OJ is cut up about it ....... but not as much as his ex.

Nice beaver!

I knew he was at the hospital.

The hospital? What is it?

A big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

Lt. Frank Drebin: Miss, I'm Lt. Frank Drebin, and this is Captain Ed Hocken, Police Squad.

Busty Female Shop Assistant: Is this some kind of bust?

Lt. Frank Drebin: Well... it's very impressive, yes, but we need to ask you a few questions.

One of the good guys, could always have a laugh

only watching john candy (uncle buck) yesterday and thinking gee comic's like him are missed. i'm sure the same will be when i next see flying high, naked gun. top man.

Sad news,one of very few americans who was very funny without having to play"funny crazy guy"(Ben Stiller etc take note)

“You're excited? You should feel my nipples!”

Legend

RIP

Watching Airplane on Sky Movies as we speak.

An absolute legend and one of the finest comedy actors there has ever been. R.I.P


fRANK: Well, when I see five weirdos, dressed in togas, stabbing a man in the middle of the park in full view of a hundred people, I shoot the b@st@rds, that's *my* policy!

MAYOR: That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of 'Julius Caesar,' you moron! You killed five actors! Good ones!

Sadly missed. They don't make them like that anymore etc.

Hadn't realised until now but Peter Graves - Clarence Oveur in Airplane also died earlier this year.

The two best characters from that film, a sad year for Airplane

Surely you can't be serious?

gone to the forbidden planet

A very funny man in films and also in the TV programme Police Squad.

Most people think he was an american, but he was born in Canada. One of his brother was Deputy Prime Minster.

Epilogues - Police Squad - happy memories

Amazing actor, too many funny clips and moments to list.

This was a good one, "The double bribe"

lol at that julius ceasar line dan, hadn't heard that before.

You killed five actors! Good ones!

The bit in bold just got me, 

This is Frank Drebin, Police Squad. Throw down your guns, and come on out with your hands up. Or come on out, then throw down your guns, whichever way you wanna do it. Just remember the two key elements here: one, guns to be thrown down; two, come on out!

what a shame r i p leslie

The more I think about him the funnier he gets.  I don't know who was behind it all, who decided to create this persona for him but he did it brilliantly.  Can't think of anyone it was a copy of - definitely a case of the actor adding to the humour by his delivery.

I hardly rate any US comedy but he's defo one I do rate.

Like many other character actors, he was picked for 'Airplane!' because the film's creators, Jim Abrahams, Jerry and David Zucker, thought the jokes would be funnier if they were delivered by serious actors playing it completely straight. 'Airplane!', which parodied the 1970s 'Airport' disaster films, is regarded as one of the best spoof movies.

Extract from the above link, why he along with many others were picked for Airplane

Whiplash, whiplash
Whiplash, whiplash
In 1851
The great Australian gold rush
The only law a gun
The only shelter wild bush
Whiplash, whiplash
Umm-uum, uum-uum-uuum
Uum-uum

Always chuckle when i think of the time he stole Stan's bird on that episode of On The Buses.

The lady who 'spoke jive' also passed away last month

RIP legend.

Still watch aeroplane every couple months.

Without a doubt one of the funniest men ever on screen. Not many comedy performances will ever surpass his in Airplane! and Police Squad

"There'd been a series of gorgeous fashion models found naked and unconscious on the West Side. Unfortunately, I was assigned to investigate holdup's at neighbourhood credit unions"

"We think we know how he did it"
"Howie couldn't have done it he hasn't been in for weeks"

"I'm sorry to bother you at a time like this Mrs Twice. We would have come earlier but your husband wasn't dead then"

Bought my son the 3 Naked Guns recently, and he absolutely loved them - as do I.

Died again...

I didnt realise he was dead the first time, then i realised he died a while ago but it did  not stop me just pouring my heart out over his death the 2nd time.

I need to see some of his films asap.

Tragic news very funny man.

'Stop keep calling me Shirley' 

Aeroplane had me doubled up with laughter...R.I.P

Each time I watch that Airplane film I see a new joke,very funny. My favourite scene was the wholesome young lady playing a guitar and cutting the life support of the patient behind her flailing his arms about in death throes while they were all singing away !

The blow up co-pilot getting a **** was and is one of the funniest things i've ever seen on film..

RIP Leslie, one of the funniest comedy actors I've ever seen.

He could make you laugh before he even said anything, had one of those faces.

It was a beaver. I was hoping for compliments. Maybe someone saying that it was a "good beaver", or something similar
