RIP Leslie Nielsen, thanks for all the laughs.

[RetSignman]

He had to be a favorite actor of the comedy writers who wrote his lines. He delivered their words flawlessly.

After my mom died “Naked Gun” was a way I could get my Dad to laugh again. Thanks Lesie and RIP.

Oh say can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail
In the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose bright stripes and broad stars
In the perilous night
For the ramparts we watched
uh, da-da-da-da-da-daaaa.
And the rocket's red glare
Lots of bombs in the air
Gave proof to the night
That we still had our flag.
Oh say does that flag banner wave
Over a-a-all that's free
And the home of the land
And the land of the - FREE!

Goodnight, Mr. Nielsen. You will always be one of my favorite comedic actors. I wish you could have lived to be a 150.

Mr. Nielsen is survived by his robot, Robby.

Pretty much what wrapped up the lives of both my parents in the last couple of years.......if an ex-president like Gerald Ford can't be saved from those infections, the bugs will continue to end lives of the elderly and immobile.

This news just sucks-—Leslie Nielsen’s films are a fixture in our household. He will be sorely missed!

[ScottinVA]

Very sorry to hear that. RIP, Mr. Nielsen. You brought smiles and laughs to an entire generation, and you were also a great serious actor as well in the earlier part of your career.

"Do you like gladiators?"

Actually, that was Peter Graves' as Captain Ovure.

Just don’t call me late for dinner.

Is it just me, or does he look a little like Ryan Stiles (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) in that picture?

Very sad. He always played those “Naked Gun” parts so well.
