Doug Nielsen told CJOB that the actor passed away at a hospital in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The Canadian actor had been hospitalized for nearly two weeks as a result of pneumonia.
"Just in this last 48 hours, the infection has gotten too much and today at 5.30, with his friends and his wife by his side, he just fell asleep and passed away," Doug told the radio station.

He took a gamble with a few other conservative actors in stepping forward in
An American Carol. He was one of the good guys.
Thanks for all the laughs, Leslie. RIP.

I had no idea he was that old. The funnies scene ever was when he was at the banquet with the queen of England, and he took the microphone into the bathroom with him.

Captain of the Poseidon. Rest in Peace. Yup. Watching his non-comedy roles makes me feel weird.

Mayor Barkley: Oh Drebin. I don’t want any more trouble like you had last year on the southside. Understand? That’s my policy.
Frank Drebin: Yes, well. When I see five weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in plain view of a hundred people, I shoot the bastards, that’s my policy.
Mayor Barkley: That was a Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar, you moron! You killed five actors! Good ones!
Thanks Leslie you were great.
