Posted by on Nov 28, 2010 in News Archive | 6 comments

Sad news today, as film has lost another funny man, Leslie Nielsen. CJOB announced that the actor passed in a Ft. Lauderdale hospital at the age of 84, unfortunately to pneumonia. The actor was mostly known for his comedic work in spoof films like The Naked Gun, Scary Movie 4, Airplane!, and countless others.

But the actor has had a slew of noteworthy genre films on his resume with Dracula: Dead and Loving It, The Poseidon Adventure, TV’s Night Gallery, Creepshow, Day of the Animals, and Prom Night (1980).

He will be missed.
