As well as the other things mentioned I remember he also played a great bad guy guest role in Kung Fu over a four episiode arc, which was impressive. He'll be missed RIP Leslie And don't call him shirley! Indeed Duck. I am totally bummed out. Let's not forget his "serious" role in "Forgotten Planet." Another classic. Maybe his death will wake Hollywood up to put all of his films onto Blu-Ray!! I can't believe "Airplane!" isn't on Blu yet. Not to mention the "Naked Gun" movies. Also the TV show that Naked Gun was based on Police squad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Very sad. He was a master of his craft. Police Squad is still one of the funniest TV's shows that has ever been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your_Lion Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 This is such sad news. I grew up on Police Squad and Naked Gun. Well, I first heard the shot, and as I turned, Jim fell. Jim Fell's the teller? No, Jim Johnson. Who's Jim Fell? He's the auditor, Frank. He had the flu, so Jim... filled in. Phil who? Phil Din. He's the night watchman.

J2112YYZ Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Very sad news. I only know him for his comedic roles from Airplane, The Naked Gun movies and Spay Hard. Very funny man, I might have to check out some of the dramatic stuff he did. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 One of the greatest comedy influences in my life. He was truly a guy who understand how to make any audience laugh; somehow- you cannot watch one of his films without cracking at least a snicker at some point. We've lost one of the good ones. Truly one of my all time favorites. Thanks for the laughs, Leslie. Rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
