    Who killed Lt. Frank Drebin? My money is on Det. Nordberg. It wouldn't be the first time Nordberg killed somebody would it?

    Laugh now, but his filmography includes things like MASH and the captain on the Poseidon Adventure, Kojak, Streets of San Francisco, Barnaby Jones, Ironside, The Rookies, Hawaii Five-0 and the Mod Squad.
    He had great comic timing, but his life was a Quinn Martin Production

    Back in the early 1990s I was parking cars at a country club in Paradise Valley, AZ, and Nielsen walked out with a member. As they were waiting for their golf clubs, you start to hear fart noises. Two very old women who were waiting for their car (white Caddy, I'm sure) did not seem to be amused, and after they got into their cars, Neilsen shows everyone the whoopee cushion he was palming.

    He was always on. RIP

    I had the opportunity to interview Leslie 10 or 12 or 15 years ago, and I remember leaving the interview thinking, Gee, that wasn't nearly as hilarious as I thought it might be. Guess I should have written funnier questions for him.

    RIP.

    One of the greats, indeed.

    His older brother Erik was a longtime Canuckistani politician and was the Deputy Prime Minister from 1984 to 1986 under Brian Mulroney.

    A friend of mine on a different website told a story of a golf fundraiser that Nielsen attended. He had his fart machine during the silent action.

    Fucking classic part. Then all the sporting equipment nails Dr. Meinheimer on the head, finishing with the tar and feathers.
