I routinely joke with a guy in the courthouse whenever it's a pressure situation for him by poking my head in his office and saying, "Good luck. We're all counting on you."
Anyone who knows only Leslie Nielsen's work from Airplane! or the Naked Gun movies miss out on a lot of the humor. He played so many serious dramatic roles beforehand that when he appeared (along with other "serious dramatic actors" Peter Graves, Robert Stack and Lloyd Bridges) in Airplane! it was a seismic shock. The closest equivalent would be Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder.
this is off subject to leslie's death, in which i loved to death. that guy was hilarious. but here a video that might entertain the ppl of wise county that u might consider putting up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba0NO9s8ihM ... fight during titans and texas game between adre johnson and cortland finnegan. have a good one. ~brandon.
I remember a few years back when he did a serious commercial for some senior citizen service (maybe it was life insurance, a hearing aid, etc.)..........and I had a hard time taking the commercial seriously because it was Leslie Nielsen doing the advertisement!

Thanks for 100,000 laughs, sir. You will be missed.
Oh My. I saw that Leslie Nielson passed away on Facebook. But, it didn't dawn on me who it was until now.

In the courthouse? What's that?
Oh, it's a big building in the middle of the town square, with lots of windows and air conditioners, but that't not important now...

Absolutely one of the best comedians of all times. My favorite.
"...but that's not important right now..."
RIP Leslie Nielson. You will be missed.

Yet he was a serious actor back in the day....
I will miss Leslie. Rest in peace my friend until we meet again.
Whats that House of York? He passed away on Facebook? I thought he was on Twitter when he passed away.
These racist crackers down here in Nevada won't let me out to go to Frank's funeral.

I wonder how long he debated taking the role in Airplane?
...getting caught in the gears of a combine .... having your ***** bit off by a Laplander. That's the way I wanna go!
Frank Drebin, a real American.

"And don't call me Shirley". My wife and kids hate it, but it is the funniest line I have ever heard.
RIP Leslie.
