RIP Leslie. We've lost a comic genius.

I remember when he was a serious actor, although generally a little offbeat!

He will always be Commander J. J. Adams in my memories.

Forbidden Planet is one of the greatest Sci-Fi movies of all time. When other movies of that Genre during that time were cheesy, low budget affairs Forbidden Planet raised the bar that wasn't even approached until 2001 A Space Odessy 15 years later.
If you get a chance to see it remember 2 things. First it was released in 1956 and 2nd, it is basically a SciFi version of Shakespeare's "The Tempest"

2 more things. I was nominated an Oscar for Special effects and it was the 1st movie with an all Electronic Musical Score.......

My favourite line? "Nice Beaver"...as Priscilla Presley was going up the ladder in a skirt..and then she hands down the stuffed beaver and says "Thanks, I just had it stuffed". First time I saw that, I damn near died laughing....THAT was as definitive of what this guy was about as anything.....double entendre's, straight faces in the chaos...oh yes....

RIP Leslie..a nation mourns and a lot of other people too!

Dr.Rumack in Airplane! and Lt. Frank Drebin... both great characters :)

RIP Mr. Nielsen.

It's not often that a comic actor can reach the status where just thinking about scenes from his movies brings a smile to your face. RIP
