Very sad...

 

A Canadian institution. Very sad indeed.

 

So now we've got three threads in three forums.

 

^That just means we need about 12-14 more.

Sad to see he's died. This means I'll have to break out Airplane and The Naked Gun movies this week...

Seems like it wasn't that long ago that Peter Graves (one of his costars in Airplane) passed.

 

^Let us not forget the brave commander in Forbidden Planet. IMHO, his best role.

 

I watched Sacry Movie 4 last weekend. Not his best but one of his last.

 

I've been saddened by the deaths of other actors recently but this one actually brought a tear to my eye. Thank you Mr. Nielsen for all the laughs.

 

Surely, you can't be serious?

 

I was shocked to hear it. He's always seemed so incredibly alive in each role that its hard to imagine him being gone.

 

And don't forget Barabara "I speak Jive" Billingsley.

 

I am serious...and quit calling me Shirley

 

Doctor Remick, how are the passengers holding up?

 

He will be greatly missed, RIP Mr Nielson.

 

A sad day, indeed.

 

Farewell "Commander JJ Adams"... your range of roles was wide and varied..from Westerns..to Science Fiction, Drama and finally Comedy spoofing your older roles.....


A master of your craft...

 

"I just wanna tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you."

 

That's very sad news, he gave me many hours of laughs and entertainment.
And he was one of the best Draculas of the big screen.
A brilliant actor.

May he rest in peace.

 

This is such sad news. We'll be watching Airplane! tonight in memory of a brilliant actor.
