R.I.P. Leslie Nielsen

November 29, 2010

Folks, one of the greats has unfortunately passed on. Whether you knew of him or not, I think this calls for an introduction/revisit to The Naked Gun and Airplane! Thanks for the laughs, Les, and I thought you were awesome in Forbidden Planet.

Even in death, we will never stop calling you Shirley.

    Wilma, I promise you; whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest one minute until he’s behind bars. Now, let’s grab a bite to eat…

    It’s strange that I just put the Airplane! trailer up on Thanksgiving eve only to hear he passed away days later! He’s such a comic genius that I had no idea he was a dramatic actor when he started out, even auditioned for the role of Messala in Ben-Hur believe it or not. He’ll be sorely missed.

    He will be missed. The man delivered some of the best comedic lines ever.
