2. Forbidden Planet was amazing, and the cast was an integral part of that amazing. He will be missed.

3. Oh, “Forbidden Planet” was wonderful in so many ways.

   But I still liked Leslie Nielsen best as Sergeant Buck Frobisher on the great television series “Due South.”

   Here is a taste:

   What a remarkable life: from serious actor to comedy genius. And from all reports, a genuinely nice and modest man. Not your typical Hollyweird parakeet. Much missed.

4. He started as a serious dramatic actor and found his true calling in comedy. He will be missed.

5. And his Naked Gun co-star — O.J. — is still alive. Life isn’t fair.

6. Nielsen’s antics with a ‘whoopee pad’ off-camera are legendary. He was a seriously funny guy. And will be missed, but the laughter lives on.

7. Shocked I had no idea he was in his 80’s – and what a loss! My condolences to his family

8. Surely, it could not have been so serious.

9. “I am serious,” Nielsen replies. “And don’t call me Shirley.”
   LoL!!!
   Cracks me up each time.. The man may die but his work lives on.. Rest in peace.. You will be missed.

10. a bit back i bought the complete TV series “police squad!” on dvd and i watched an interview with neilson. he explained what he loved about the humor of the show. He said that the humor wasn’t at all mean spirited, as a rule. Like when Frank Drebben puts his eye to a microscope and manages to close the same eye, the scientist doesn’t say, “you idiot, use your open eye!” He says, “Frank, use your open eye.” He’s helpful not mean.

    I think it says something about his character that he noticed that, and found it appealing.

12. Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox,
    Tail on his hat.
    Nobody knows
    Where the Swamp Fox’s at.

    Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox,
    Hiding in the glen.
    He runs away
    To fight again.

13. He was a very funny guy. It amazed me to read he was legally deaf.
