RIP: Leslie Nielsen
 

The guy whose line in Airplane!--"I am serious. And don't call me Shirley"--is a classic in the annals of cinema comedy was 84.

Just read this on Twitter. Sorry to say, he hadn't been looking good, and I believe his memory was failing him. We saw him at a panel at Comic Con some years ago and he was kind of unresponsive to the fans and couldn't remember a lot of stuff. He lived long though and I hope he had a full life. God bless him for taking on the role of Mr Magoo. :terrsmile:

The freaky part, is were talking about him LAST nite! One person asked if he was dead, and my friend and I said "no." This was last night, and now he is dead today.:o:'( RIP

I first heard this as a "rumor", which a radio station from Vancouver, BC was airing. Not long after, it was confirmed. I'm just amused how Seattle kept asking "How did Vancouver hear of this before we did??" :P

He was a funny guy, and great actor, he'll be surely missed.

RIP Mr. Nielsen :bloosad:

Wow. The man was one of the great ones; he'll be greatly missed. :bloosad:

WOW, A very sad farewell to of Canada's certifiable acting legends.

Really don't have much to say because I am still getting over the shock.
