Airplane and the Nake Gun Movies are classic in my eyes, but looking over his IMDB page, the man starred in a LOT of crap.

Sad sad day.

KalTorak · November 2010

Man, I grew up not understanding most of the jokes in The Naked Gun

Thomamelas · November 2010

He did actually get his start as a Dramatic actor and was known for that up until Airplane.

lonelyahava · November 2010

awwww.

Now I'm glad I decided to pack my copy of airplane.

Damn.

Magus` · November 2010

Aww fuck

reVerse · November 2010

I just watched Airplane! this Friday. Such a great movie all around.

I guess a Naked Gun marathon is in order.

At least he was with his family when he passed.

Such delivery.

Cherrn · November 2010

Sad as hell. That's a huge piece of my comedic upbringing right there.

This makes me sad, I grew up watching a lot of his movies, the guy was amazing at what he did.

Joolander · November 2010

there was a golfing "instructional" video he did a while back that was pretty hilarious. does anybody know what it was called?

Sorenson · November 2010

Oh, no.

I don't normally get bothered by celebrity deaths and whatnot, but Nielsen was one of my foundations of entertainment, so this is pretty harsh for me.

I've been long overdue to get Police Squad and Naked Gun on DVD, but between this and Black Friday I think it's time to rectify that.

YES! thank you

maximumzero · November 2010

WAIT. WHAT. FUCK. NO. REALLY? FUCK!

Klash · November 2010

Spy Hard, Naked Gun series and Wrongfully Accused. I spent way too much time watching those, when I was growing up.

No matter what the guy was in his roles were always funny and I got a laugh. That awful Scary Movie? He was good. That awful space movie? He was good.

At least he lived long.

maximumzero · November 2010

Hell, even Superhero movie. He always looked like he was having fun.

Lord_Mordja · November 2010

It's an entirely different kind of dying, altogether.

Raynaga · November 2010

Oddly my favorite role of his was his turn in Due South - not the later seasons, but in the first. Showed his dramatic chops a bit.

Cade · November 2010

Not many people realize the guy actually was a serious actor until the later half of his life if not later, comedy came later for him.

I mean the guy even starred in Forbidden Planet!

Death of Rats · November 2010

So earlier today I was joking about how Leslie Nielsen must be dead because of the scary movie movies... only to find out he died as I was making jokes. Now I feel awful.
