Veteran comedian and actor Leslie Nielsen has died in a Florida hospital, his family confirmed to Global News on Sunday evening. The Canadian actor was 84.

Nielsen rose to fame with roles in the Airplane and Naked Gun film franchises. He had apparently been suffering from pneumonia for more than a week.

“Today at 5:30 with his friends and his wife by his side, he just fell asleep and passed away,” his nephew Doug Nielsen told Manitoba radio station CJOB68.

:( I need to go watch Airplane 1 and 2 now.....

He was the funniest thing about several recent spoof movies. Now with him gone, they will all be crap.
So long Mr. Nielsen. May no one call you Shirley.

He'll always be Frank Drebin to me. RIP.

Kinda sad that he had to die just so I can know his actual age. Never had a clue.

Definitely one of my favorite comic actors. Loved him in Naked Gun. Knew how old he was, knew to expect it sooner or later, but still pretty hard to take since he was near the top of my list of actors who had most impact on my life. But he's in heaven now, RIP Leslie Nielsen.

One of my favorite tv apparances he did was on the series finale of Golden Girls.

Blanche sets up this blind date with her Uncle Lcuas for Dotothy. Dorothy & Lucas hit it off & end up being married.

Blanche didn't like the idea of them getting married, but changed her mind. Rose told her that with them married, everyone will be related in this household, except her (which Sophia replies "Now that's family planning!")

The bridesmaids & mother of the bride had lovely thoughts as Dorothy went down the aisle in her wedding gown. But Rose was singing "The Farmet In The Dell!" (LOL).

Yeah, I heard about this. He'll be sorely missed. R.I.P. My condolences go out to his family and friends.

Loved him in Naked Gun and the Sequels, Dracula Dead and Loving It, Airplane, Prom Night, Creepshow, Stan Helsing, Camoflauge, Wrongfully Accused, Spy Hard, and most of his slap stick comedy movies he made. He's was a Sttoge of the modern day. I don't think there will ever be a comedian to replace or do what he did.

sp true indeed :tcry:

[Guitar_Raph]

There's one other character that he did that I forgot to mention. He played Mr. Magoo in a live action movie.

Bet Jim Backus is glad to see him in heaven, by Geroge!

[Cowabunga Kiefer]

I'm so excited, one of the local theaters that plays classic midnight movies (Rocky Horror, The Room, etc.) plans to play a double feature in his memory. In January, they'll play Airplane and The Naked Gun (this is Nashville, TN so if you're willing to make the trip, I can get you more info on when and where to be)

[BubblyShell22]

Hey, that's cool.

Man, that guy was born old, as soon as he grew hair, he was the only child with a grown man's voice, wrinkles, and white hair. I will miss him a lot, he was always a good sport, even when working with the creators (or just 2 apparently) of the Scary Movie franchise, no matter what rediculous movie he was in, it could never sour his name. RIP, Leslie Nielsen.

I was shocked when I heard about it around Thanksgiving. But at 84, it's more likely to die from anything. The guy had a lot of life left in him before he got sick. I mean, he was still acting. He was going to do a possible Scary Movie 5 as the President again. He's bee in acting for a long time. I remember seeing him in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents or Hour, and that was in the 1950s. Half his career he played a serious actor, and I believe it was Airplane, he became a comedian. My best movie memories of him was in Naked Gun, and the Naked Gun type movies. I remembered in the first Naked Gun when he attended a meeting at City Hall, he had to go to the bathroom, but left his microphone on and everyone can hear all the bodily noises he was making loudly.

Anyway... Like I said, it was bound to happen at some point when you get to age 84.
