Title: Leslie Nielsen has died
Post by: Rico on November 28, 2010, 06:46:18 PM
A great actor who entertained me greatly in many films and TV appearances over the years has passed away.  First knew of him in "Forbidden Planet" as Commander Adams.  Rest in piece Leslie.

He was an entertaining actor. I struggle to think of anyone contemporary who could fill the roles that he became more recently known for.

Oh no. I'll really miss him.  I was just watching an American Carol the other night.

Hope this isn't "so last year", but I thought it was surely worth mentioning for when your caught up with Treksinscifi.
I finally got around to listening to a very nice celebration of the lives of Leslie Nielsen and Irvin Kirschner by our friends @ Starbase 66.
