Leslie Nielsen Dead at 84 (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/29/nyregion/29nielsen.html?_r=1&src=me)

I saw this message on irc "[11:43:20pm] -Global- it pains this IRCop to announce that Leslie Nielsen died today, he was 84 years old." I didn't think it was true, but it is. :(

Leslie Nielsen is dead? Surely you can't be serious!

It is.


And don't call me Shirley.

That was a surprise. Quite an ordinary cause, though, for elders. But still, he could have lived longer. Not few actors are still acting when older than 84.

wat?

I refuse to believe such nonsense........ oh god :(...R.I.P. man, you will be missed :'[.

This is very sad news, he was easily my favorite comedy actor. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as I did in his Naked Gun 33 1/3. I still do. Particularly in the Academy Awards scene.

And of course, Enrico Palazzo.

sad news indeed....the world shall not see his likes again.

The world has truly lost a great man today, an actor who understood comic timing perhaps better than anyone else, and his dramatic roles were good too (Forbidden Planet made a mark few scifi fans can ignore).

No frikkin' way! I thought for sure the guy was immortal!

Thanks and rest in peace, old childhood hero. We had fun.

I heard about this yesterday and I was a little shocked and very sad. And to be honest, I had no idea he was already in his 80s.

Continues to make me laugh out loud even after I've seen all the movies again and again. Will be sorely missed.

I feel a marathon of Naked Gun, Wrongfully Accused and Spy Hard coming on.
