Leslie Nielsen dead at 84 - Page 2

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.

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!

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)

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.
