Great Canadian actor Leslie Nielsen died today at age 84.
He had a long and distinguished career as an actor including his famour roles in Airplane and Naked Gun. I loved him in Creepshow where he played a cuckholded man who kills both his wife and her lover by burying them up to their heads in sand. He tells the wife's lover that if he holds his breath long enough, he might be able to loosen the sand and free himself. Nielsen then goes back to his beach house and watches the tide come in and drown them.
Later that night, the ghosts of his wife and her lover take him out to the beach and do to him what he did to them. As the tide comes in he yells out, "I can hold my breath a looooooooong time".
RIP Leslie Nielsen.
