Leslie Neilsen Comedic Hero

Leslie Neilsen: A man who started out as an actor, and switched to a comedy actor passed away at age 84. He died Sunday due to complications from pneumonia. I just wanted to make a quick mention of him here, since he was probably one of my favorite actors / comedians. Some of his serious early roles include were in the films "Forbidden Planet" and later "The Poseiden Adventure". I will always enjoy his roles in the movies "Airplane" and The Naked Gun" series, but my ultimate favorite was the t.v. show "Police Squad" - The predecessor of "The Naked Gun" movies.  I just wanted to pay my respects to one of my favorites, Leslie Neilsen.
