CANADIAN actor Leslie Nielsen, famous for his deadpan turns in Flying High and The Naked Gun, has died aged 84, a radio station has reported.

His death was first reported in unconfirmed messages on Twitter that suggested the actor had died in the hospital after suffering from pneumonia.

His nephew, Doug Nielson, told Canadian radio station CJOB that the actor had been in the hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for 12 days and that "he just fell asleep and passed away" with family and friends by his side.

Born in Regina, Canada, Leslie Nielsen appeared in more than 100 movies and hundreds of television shows over the course of his career.

Awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he was also made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2002 despite also being a naturalized US citizen.

He was married four times, and had two children from his second marriage, Maura and Thea Nielsen.

Farewell Leslie one my favorite movie comedians. :(

[1Kurgan1]

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

I know how the line goes, but I wasn't quoting, just paraphrasing as Shirley was what Leslie had assumed he was called.

*sigh* there goes another hero of my childhood...

[qubit]

I don't normally care much for celebrities when they go, but he was a comic genius and seemed like a decent person too.

I don't normally see the same film twice, but Airplane must be a good 10-15 times over the years. Priceless.

This is a sad day. :(

From his Bio ...http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Nielsen,_Leslie/Biography/
"The son of a Canadian Mountie and the brother of Canada's future Deputy Prime Minister, Nielsen was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, on February 11, 1926. He developed an early knack for acting when he was forced to lie to his disciplinarian father in order to avoid punishment, and he went on to become a radio announcer after serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force during WWII (despite being legally deaf, the result of a childhood illness)".

I never knew he was legally deaf...even more respect for him now.
