He seemed to enjoy life. He certainly gave the world lots of laughter... though I didn't need to see his butt like, ever. :p

I'm sorry to hear about Leslie's death. I have been asked for my autograph many, many time with people thinking I am him. I am 76 and he was 84.

Oh, he was a very funny actor. I enjoyed his movies.

One thing that I am surprised that hasn't been mentioned in the bio pieces is that his older brother was Erik Nielsen, the former Deputy Prime Minister in Brian Mulroney's government back in the 80's.

I would, I suppose, congratulate him on his acting. As for the films he appeared in, I've just looked at the list. The world would be a better place if not one of them had been made. My lord there's a dearth of worthy films in that mess. Parodies, lousy remakes and plain stinkers.
