This one sucks, great actor. Maybe didn't always get the greatest roles, but he always tried to make the best of them. The naked gun films literally made me laugh so hard I cried when they came out. And, not to forget he was an accomplished serious actor before he switched to comedy. Shirley, will be missed.

phuck, rukiddingme?

I was so hoping some kind of new movie would come out with Leslie along side Ernest Borgnine and Betty White, all of them hitting mainstream success in their final years on the planet, dang.

...actually made Scary Movie 3+4 less of a fail than they shoulda been...

here's a news page I found that has a handful of video clips from classic Leslie Nielson roles:
