That's sad. Leslie Nielsen was lead actor in my favourite film of all time, the 1956 classic "Forbidden Planet". It was his character, captain of the United Planets Cruiser C-57D "John J. Adams", which most probably provided the spark I needed to become interested in everything "space".

I wasn't a fan of the later Airport or Naked Gun stuff at all, but acknowledge his versatility.

RIP Mr Nielsen. :sadeyes:

Sad news.
That movie Forbidden Planet left an indelible image on me as a kid.
Seeing that flying saucer in space at the start of the movie probably stirred my interest in astronomy way back then.
A classic movie and ahead of it's time for sure.
Ditto RIP

Bummer, I enjoyed his work the serious and comedy...

[Ric]

I always enjoyed his humour and his ability to keep that serious face when everything around him was totally ridiculous.

RIP Leslie

Farewell Leslie. I enjoyed your work.

My children searched out and bought the back catalog of Police Squad so he made an impact on the next generation as well.

[Kevnool]

Funny man.
Will be sadly missed.
He made classics.

RIP

"Nice beaver!"

"Thanks I just had it stuffed" **hands him a stuffed beaver**

:lol:

Classic stuff. Never saw his old movies, but I grew up on the Flying High and Naked Gun series. Still get a laugh when I watch them today.

Sadly missed...

[mick pinner]

a large building with patients. what a funny man.

[Hans Tucker]

Bit late but since I am watching Flying High I thought I'd post this and encourage anyone whom hasn't seen this film to give it a go (on now on Ten)...it's a classic with brilliant dead pan humour...I never get sick of watching this movie.

Shirley you can't be serious.....

Cheers,
Jason.

. . and a damn nice person!
I only got to spend about half an hour with him a few years ago but he made me feel like I had known him for years.
He was very short too which surprised me.
Yes, he will be missed.
