I'm not much on Hollywood actors, but Leslie Nielsen was one that I enjoyed watching his movies.

Leslie Nielsen, who traded in his dramatic persona for inspired bumbling as a hapless doctor in "Airplane!" and the accident-prone detective Frank Drebin in "The Naked Gun" comedies, died on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was 84.
The Canadian-born actor died from complications from pneumonia at a hospital near his home at 5:34 p.m., surrounded by his wife, Barbaree, and friends, his agent John S. Kelly said in a statement.
"We are saddened by the passing of beloved actor Leslie Nielsen, probably best remembered as Lt. Frank Drebin in 'The Naked Gun' series of pictures, but who enjoyed a more than 60-year career in motion pictures and television," said Kelly.

"Can you fly this plane, and land it?"
"Surely you can't be serious."
"I am serious... and don't call me Shirley."

RIP

That's really sad. I loved watching the naked gun movies when I was a kid.

This girl needs an operation. We need to get her to a hospital.

A Hospital? What is it?

It's a big building with patients, but that's not important now.

Going to miss you big guy,,,,,

That was one of my favorite quotes from him and that entire movie.

Can't forget police files, or naked gun too. All funny.
