RIP Leslie Nielsen

[bizoneoeh]

Surely, you can't be serious.

Fans of Leslie Nielsen will most certainly be repeating that classic bit of Airplane! dialogue today (as well as its rejoinder: "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."). Nielsen, a journeyman actor who later found fame with comedy roles in Airplane! and The Naked Gun series, died late Sunday afternoon of complications from pneumonia, E! News has confirmed. He was 84.

Holy s**t dude I know!!! Just heard this on the news 5 minutes ago. Crazy, I liked the Naked Gun movies the best. Definitely a good comedian/actor.

Fa sho dude. Just saw this on the news a couple hours ago. Hella sad, I love Airplane and seeing him have his little spots in movies like Scary Movie 4 or 5 or whatever the hell it was. Funny ass dude, will be missed.

Damn, I had no idea he was that old. Truly a great comedian, he will be missed.
