Leslie Nielsen has died

[wigster]

Shame he was a funny guy and great actor.

RIP Leslie

He was a great actor that played the parts he had almost perfectly. I don't know if anybody else could have pulled those roles off in his biggest movies anywhere near as well as he did or even enough to make the movies worth watching.

I loved the TV show Police Squad! that inspired the Naked Gun movies. It was so ahead of it's time that I think it only last like 5 episodes.

I loved the TV show Police Squad! that inspired the Naked Gun movies. It was so ahead of it's time that I think it only last like 5 episodes.

6 episodes, and only 4 aired on tv before being cancelled. Of course they all aired in syndication after the success of The Naked Gun. I remember really, really hoping that it would rejuvinate the tv show.

I'm sorry I can't be more optimistic, Doctor, but we've got a long road ahead of us. It's like having sex. It's a painstaking and arduous task that seems to go on and on forever, and just when you think things are going your way, nothing happens.

:angels: At the gates...

St. Peter: Welcome to Heaven, Leslie.

Leslie: Heaven? Surely you can't be seri-ohhhh...

(both of them at the same time): ....aaAAAHH! HA-HAAAA! (point at each other)

St. Peter: Ahhh I've been waiting for that for some time now. (wipes a tear away) Ohh, mercy. I am happy you're here. Of course, there is some standard protocol we have to go through before I can let you through the gates.

Leslie: What is it?

St. Peter: Oh, it's those golden doors over there with the bars. But that's not important right now...

(A bearded man pokes his head out): I just wanna say good luck...We're all counting on you.

(Leslie shakes his head): Oh...Jesus.

St. Peter: Oh, you know him?

Leslie: Yes. His hands healed up nicely.

St. Peter: Yeah, but he just hasn't been the same guy. You guys sure did a number on him down there. Sometimes I could swear he is getting crazier.

Jesus jumps over to St. Peter and shakes him: And Peter is getting laarrrrrrgerrr!!

St. Peter Oh! For crying out - Just...Just go, Leslie. Go in.

Leslie Thanks.
(he starts to walk through the gates, takes a few steps back): And don't be too hard on the kid. He makes some great booze.
(starts walking again, then turns): But stay away from the crazy bread!

RIP Leslie.

Very sad. There's a really great interview with him that was replayed this afternoon on NPR. The link to it on the NPR site is here I believe:

Versatile and cool as anything. He used to costar in a lot of old shows back in the day. And he was the ship captain in the original Poseidon Adventure. He really got famous with the Naked Gun T.V. and movies. He will be missed. One helluva lot.

 

[Shifty]

One of the best ever, and Canadian to boot. RIP!

:hatsoff:
