Had a chance to talk w/ Mr. Neilson twice as he was flying thru an airport I was working. A very friendly, gracious, funny man.
Surely he can't be gone. He is and I'll stop calling him Shirley.

RIP, sir.

RIP..Naked Gun will always be remembered for sure.

mtrunner · 29 November 2010, 11:45 PM

RIP. He was definitely hilarious and always made me laugh.

Mosco · 29 November 2010, 11:49 PM

That actually brought a tear to my eye - grew up watching his movies. No matter how bad your mood was, Airplane would always make you laugh... Naked Gun is the true daddy of slapstick - these movies coming out nowadays are just trying to live up to it. Seemed like a real nice gentleman from all the interviews I have seen - this is a huge loss... R.I.P., Mr Nielsen (Shirley)

STEELINOX · 29 November 2010, 11:52 PM

Don call him, "Shirley," (RIP) !

rpryan55 · 30 November 2010, 12:00 AM

For once, a celebrity death that actually made me sad. In a world that desperately needed a funny man, he was just the thing.

The world is a bit bleaker. An icon has gone.

There were a few that come to mind in recent times : George Harrison, Dean Martin, "Francis Albert", Tammy Wynette (yeah, I was a unabashed fan), but this is definitely one that makes me sad as well.

He was very gifted and very funny!

Lion · 30 November 2010, 12:59 AM

I'm sorry to hear of his passing...I did enjoy his movies!!!

JBat · 30 November 2010, 02:18 AM

RIP. Great actor and a good guy. Made the transition from dramatic actor to comic actor look easy.

ParisDakarBmw · 30 November 2010, 02:38 AM

I'm going to miss him.

He was funny as hell!

smartson · 30 November 2010, 02:43 AM

RIP Mr. Neilson, you will be missed.

Very clever Dan!

I think Airplane! was his funniest movie.

I'll miss his unique brand of humor and his delivery and timing were impeccable.

RIP Leslie.

daveathall · 30 November 2010, 03:24 AM

The man was a comic genius.

TSW · 30 November 2010, 05:44 AM

He and John Candy was my favorite actors when i was a kid.
May them both rest in piece.

Paul B · 30 November 2010, 06:27 AM

Yup, for anyone who grew up in Canada, Leslie was a very familiar figure.
Long before "Airplane" and his second career as a comedic actor, he appeared in multiple TV series and films as a serious actor. He was a regular on the CBC for decades, a familiar face to every Canadian of my age or older, may he rest in peace.

kcmo · 30 November 2010, 07:49 AM

I was so sad to hear of his passing. What a special soul. He will be missed!

Mike B · 30 November 2010, 08:00 AM

He will definitely be missed. I remember watching the Naked Gun movies growing up. Later on he went to star in Spy hard, Wrongfully Accused, etc.

Defiantly one of my top favorite actors :(

Agreed, he was one of a kind. RIP Frank Drebin, you were the best movie cop ever.

He even made Monday Night Football funny.
