What people tend to forget about Leslie is that, while he was one of the funniest men to ever grace us with his presence, he was also a very good serious actor. Check out Forbidden Planet or Creepshow sometime to see what I mean.
But yeah, he was one of the funniest men to ever live, and certainly the best at turning **** into gold just by being Leslie ****ing Nielsen. Be at peace, and thanks for all of the laughs. And there were many.
