Nielsen is of course best-known for the Naked Gun movie series but he also had a very long career in TV and the movies. I'm sorry that he has passed on.

What a shame.

His deadpan was hilarious.

RIP

The first time I ever saw Nielsen he was playing Francis Marion (Swamp Fox) in a Disney movie.

He also played in one of those Tammy movies...maybe the first one.

I saw him in an interview later in his life. He said he had a great deal of growing up to do in those days.

I always thought he was one of the good ones.

RIP, and thanks for all the laughs!!

Such a loss, but such a great run! One of the top serious character actors ever turned insanely hilarious funnyman. My wife and I were just running the names down that he heads...

Sam Kinnison...

Rodney Dangerfield...

Lloyd Bridges......

George Kennedy, O.J. Simpson and many other (more or less notorious) sidekicks from the files of “Police Squad!” and the many side-takes on that insane series...

What a loss, but at least we have a great record of why we should remember him. So many great old actors have faded into obscurity, or in many cases the best of their work is long gone...not for Leslie Nielson though.

Rest...
