Leslie Nielsen has passed at age 84 following a bout with pneumonia.
The actor is probably best known for his comedic roles, such as on Airplane!, the Naked Gun, Scary Movie 3, and similar type movies. His Airplane! line of "I am serious...and don't call me Shirley" is one of the most famous lines in cinema history.
Prior to Airplane!, which started his comedic roles, Nielsen had done dramatic roles, including appearances in Night Gallery and Alfred Hitchcock Presents
RIP Leslie.
