Yes, he will be missed, but all of these threads about his passing won’t. This is about the eighth one I’ve seen tonight.

May he RIP! One of the funniest talents in Hollywood.

Leslie Nielsen did such a great job of “re-inventing” himself and his persona. He was initially a dramatic actor, but he was a natural at comedy and seized upon it later in life. I’ve never heard or read anything bad about him. Seemed like one of the good guys.

RIP Mr. Nielsen.

He had a very long career. I just watched him last night in a “Route 66” episode where he played a nuclear scientist holed up in Carlsbad Caverns because he thought the Ruskies were going to nuke us. [You youngsters will think it was one of his comedy roles but it was straight and edgy for the times.]
