Too sad. He was one of my favourite comedians right up there with the other greats like Lloyd Bridges (of hot shots and flying high fame).

I had a leslie neilsen moment on my way home from hawaii in may, we're on the plane and along comes the first meal and would you know it, it was a choice between beef or fish... I looked over to my old man who was sitting across the isle and said "I've seen this movie!, don't have the fish!!" Dad laughed knowing exactly what I was on about and the flight attendant told me to stop making her job difficult hehehe

RIP Frank Drebin, You will be missed dearly.

He was on that list of timeless characters like Mr Bean.

I recenly re-watched "Forbidden Planet", considered by many to be one of the best sci-fi movies ever made, and young Mr Nielsen was a sexy mack daddy in it. He will be missed.

I remember working at a trade show years ago, it was a quiet night and a guy on one of the stands had a VCR to show his product.
he put on the naked gun ( most of us hadn't seen it ) well that was the end of working we were all cracking up

RIP Leslie you will be rememberd by many and your comedy has made the world a better place
