I remember him best when he stared (I was a very young lad at the time) in the movie - Forbidden Planet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_Planet).

Hi,
Forbidden Planet was a favorite of mine. Fresh Air rebroadcast
an interview yesterday.

Forbidden Planet is still a favorite of mine. It looks great on Blu-ray.

I vaguely remember Leslie Nielsen in a 1960s television series which I think was "Mission Impossible".

Hi,
A mish-mash of TV comments... The only one I remember
is Police Squad, and its guest star introductions.

He was ahead of his time.
He seemed to me to have a good view of life and he looked for and found the unique and funny things that occur in our world.
