"You're part of a dying breed, Hapsburg, like people who can name all fifty states! The truth hurts, doesn't it, Hapsburg? Oh sure, maybe not as much as landing on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts!"
Wow, sorry to hear about this. I remember him in the Poseidon Adventure. He played the captain of the ship. - Yes the original with Gene Hackman and Ernest Borgnine.
Now, that's two main actors from 1980's Airplane that have ****** away this year. Peter Graves was the first back in March 2010.
Horrible news to start the week, he was a real star. Thanks for all the laughs Mr Nielsen, watching you had me in fits of laughter even during the most depressing times in my life. RIP Leslie Nielsen :bowdown:
Terrible to hear, a true legend in the business, and personally one of my all time favorites. I can't even count how many times I saw the Naked *** movies and laughed until I was ******. Airplane was a favorite movie of my fathers, and I've grown more and more fond of all of his work in recent years. A truly sad day, a genius has been lost.
Truly a talented and very funny man. Airplane was one of my ******'s favorite movies (and eventually mine as well). I think that was the first time I was exposed to Mr. Nielsen.
As it is mine, courtesy of my own ****** as well. One of his favourite jokes in fact was when Leslie pops his head into the cock pit and says "I just wanna let you know, were all counting on you!" - Hes an aircraft electrician and in true comic genious, while working on a airliner, popped his head into the cockpit door and uttered those same words to two of his seated co workers.
Only one actually got it, but I thought that was a perfect comedy moment!
