How sad, he was very funny in Airplane and the first 2 Naked Guns. R.I.P.

...and don't call me Shirley ! We'll miss him.

Dr. Rumack!!!

My first - and fondest - rememberance of him was not as a comedic actor, but as the dashing "Swamp Fox" on the Disney series about Revolutionary War Colonel Francis Marion. Man, I thought he was soooo cool!

[MuzikTyme]

Surely I was set aback when learning of this new passing. If I ever have another daughter, Shirley will be her name.

(I'd spell it Cheryly, though)

RIP, Mr. Nielsen

I still think he was the one that helped O.J.

Verry funny, man. Will be missed.

I was so sad to hear this.

Airplane is one of absolute favorite movies.

He was even funny dubbed in German.

That was probably around the time he was in Tammy and The Bachelor with Debbie Reynolds. He was quite dashing and romantic.

Leslie Nielsen is the kind of person that makes me proud to be an American.

That's because he's a Canadian.

[Lucky]

Exactly. Cool, dashing, romantic and very very funny. He had quite a career, and was loved by so many. RIP.

At one point, I pretty much did. I have honestly lost count how many times I've seen that movie. And I still laugh incredibly hard throughout the movie.

I watched it again today...

[MuzikTyme]

I have a blow-up doll of Otto.

My favourite scene from the Naked Gun movies is the one where Leslie Neilsen shows up at a fertility clinic wearing a sling, thinking that it is just a regular medical clinic. His "performance" in the donation room is hysterical as is the aftermath when, exhausted, he goes home to find a randy Priscilla Presley waiting to be entertained.

I think the first time I saw him in a comedic role was in the early seventies on an episode of MASH. Maybe the producers of Airplane saw it and decided he'd be perfect for the role of the doctor. Who knows?

He will be missed.

He'd rather you knight him, "Sir!"
