We met Leslie Nielsen last year. We have an autographed picture of him on our "Wall of Fame," right next to Tony Curtis. I loved that guy! So sad. :cry:

He started out as a dramatic actor in films and TV. Then switched to comedy roles. One of his better known ones was with Debbie Reynolds "Tammy and the Bachelor"

No one will every call him Shirley again. Sigh.

Looking at the clips of him as a younger leading man, I thought, hmmm, maybe Connor Trinneer could someday mature into a successful comedic actor...

(Which just proves I view the world through ENT-colored glasses.)

I am sorry to hear of his passing.
Working on a major fan fic project. Two-thirds done. Hope to put it up in the not TOO distant future.

Forbidden planet is one of my favorite classic Scifi movies.
