RIP Leslie Nielsen

It is much sadness that the staff of Channel 37 feels upon hearing of the passing of Mr. Leslie Nielsen. Mr. Nielsen, who has appeared in several comedic films, will certainly be remembered mostly for his role in “Forbidden Planet.” Mr. Nielsen’s rendition of Captain Adams is “The” role that all space captains base their characters upon. Indeed “Forbidden Planet” was a film light years ahead of its time; a film that even films like “Star Wars” borrowed special effect from. To be cast in such a production speaks of the fine acting talent of Mr. Nielsen, talent which we find in rare supply these days. R.I.P. Mr. Nielsen, R.I.P.
