Actor Leslie Nielsen Dies at 84

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the definitely-will-be-missed dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Famous actor Leslie Nielsen died of pneumonia at a Florida hospital Sunday evening. Leslie was renowned for his comedic roles in dozens of films and TV shows, such as The Naked Gun and Police Squad. His characteristic style and humor was always enjoyable, and he will be sorely missed." Of course you might also remember him from The Forbidden Planet, which is classic sci-fi by any measure.

    Yes, it was. And don't call him Shirley.
