RIP Leslie Nielsen

[teleen_fiction]

Hard to believe that the guy in "Airplane" was the same one from "Forbidden Planet". 

"And then I'll put more guards on the guards!"

"Don't call me Shirley."

He'll be missed, :(.

Leslie Nielsen dies at 84.

I'm actually feeling a little choked up.  He was someone whom I really thought would always be there, foolish as that thought was.

No one lives forever, but there are some we definitely miss more than others.

Yeah. I had a little crying jag.

I'll admit that I'm not familiar with his earlier work, but I watched Airplane so many times as a kid that my mom hid the VHS on my sister and I.

He'll be missed terribly. :(

My favorite memories of him are from 'Due South'. He was a very funny man, and will be missed,.

DUE SOUTH -- oh, yeah! "That man has been working out." A brilliantly gifted comic actor whose dramatic talent was too often eclipsed. Damn he'll be missed.

[teleens-journal.livejournal.com]

Definitely.

I never watched Due South, :(.

My favorites were Airplane and Forbidden Planet, :).

He will be missed greatly.

I think it's on Netflix. I love Second Ray (Callum Keith Rennie).

It was kinda a stealth death, I just had no sense that it was coming (not like anyone owed telling me he might die). So it struck me as odd and not real when I heard he'd died.

I had a similar reaction, actually...
