I saw where Leslie Nielsen passed away. :cry:

Man, he played those serious yet dumb roles perfect. I'll miss him.

Thanks for letting us know, Lego. :) He also played some serious roles, but he was the master of deadpan comedy. I will miss him also.

He was a good Canadian, and a comedic talent. RIP

[2LZ]

Yes indeed. One of my favorite and one of the many great talents that Canada has shared south of the border.
84.....good, long, fulfilled life too.

He will be missed indeed. Seems that a lot of the comedic legends have passed away in the last few years. Leslie gave me a lot of laughs, the perfect straight man. RIP.

Deadpan...... I saw that work in the news article I read but didn't know what they were talking about. So that's a form of comedy.....Thanks Spud.

He was very popular with us pilots. Many of his expressions made it into out flying lexicon. :cry:

Threadjack alert! Threadjack alert! 8O :roll:

I really enjoyed the acting of Peter Graves, who was also excellent in the Airplane movies. In reference to comedic timing and deadpan humor, watch the following video clip. :lol:

I am also a big fan of Peter Graves for his work in the old TV series, Mission Impossible. :D

I didn't know his name but knew his face after you posted the videos. He was good at that too. He'll be missed as well.
