Thank you for the laughs. Thank you, Enrico Palazzo. RIP.

Just one of the greatest ever.

As much as I loved the first Naked Gun, Airplane, and the Police Squad TV show, my favorite roles of his were in Forbidden Planet, as well as the creepy revenge-seeking husband in Creepshow and the hilariously racist Dad in Soul Man.

RIP.

I guess this is also the end of his rating system. :sad:

This is sad, Police Squad is one of my favorite TV shows of all time.

I think it's pretty amazing that he had a career as a romantic and dramatic leading man and then, in his 50s, switched to goofy comedy and became HUGE.

I loved the Police Squad show and movies, and even though many of the spoof movies he was in were godawful, he was usually the best part. He was a naturally funny actor, and from stories I've read he was a funny man too.

He also delivered one of my absolute favorite movie lines, deadpan of course. No points for guessing the movie:

"You irresponsible bastard."

One of my favorite actors, especially his later comedy roles. Will have to have a Airplane/Police Squad/Naked Gun marathon next weekend.

Damn. That sucks.

And I just ordered the blu ray of Forbidden Planet just a few minutes ago, too. I'll have to watch it asap...

As much as he's known for his comic acting he was a pretty good dramatic actor, too.

Looks like the cows have come home to roost.

Goodnight funnyman.

Promo he did for a TV station here (one of the great independents ruined when the Fox network came along)

I just heard about it and watched Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult. I can't believe he is gone. As I watched I remembered that Anna Nicole Smith died a while back and then OJ Simpson ruined himself with that whole mess. At least George Kennedy is still active.

Leslie will be missed. :(

Darn. :rip:

Police Squad is my all-time favorite TV series, and I always enjoyed him in whatever genre he popped up in. A very long and eclectic career; thanks for the memories and the laughs Leslie.
