He just missed out on seeing action in WWII, he joined the RCAF in 1944, but the war ended before he would have been deployed overseas.

Oh, man. I just heard. I cannot think of ANYONE's comedic acting who made me laugh out loud, seriously, more than he did. He nearly caused a miscarriage when I was pregnant and watching one of his Naked Guns.
You could bet me 5 figures and make me watch Airplane without laughing, and I'd lose every time.
Strangely, I was quoting him in the car yesterday as we passed the Good Year blimp at rest. Priscilla Presley: "My husband was killed on New Year's Day at the Rose Bowl game in a terrible blimp accident." Leslie Neilson: "Good Year?" Priscilla: (sobbing) "The worst!"
The absolute best straight man comedian in history.
RIP, Leslie Nielson. I miss you already. Thanks for your body of work. I am sorry we lost you.

Unlike most actors, he got lucky in his old age achieving greatness in comedy after years of mediocrity in mediocre drama. He’ll be remembered for the comedy, you can be sure.

Long career. I first came across him in the old TV series The Bold Ones. He played a serious cop in that one.

Agreed. It still ranks high among Sci-Fi films.

Surviving the last 30 or so years would have been damn-near impossible without having that guy around.

Unlike most actors, he got lucky in his old age achieving greatness in comedy after years of mediocrity in mediocre drama. Hell be remembered for the comedy, you can be sure.Forbiden Planet was not mediocre. It is one of the greatest pioneering sci-fi movies of the 50s. I am watching it tonight in memorium. I watch the Naked Gun and Airplane! movies all the time, but I haven't seen that one in decades.
Since I am posting, one of my favorite lines... "Nurse, get this man some drugs, quick! Can't you see he's in pain?"
