Nielsen was best known for his roles in "Airplane" and the "Naked Gun" series.
His agent sent out the following statement: "We are sadden by the passing of beloved actor Leslie Nielsen, probably best remembered as Lt. Frank Drebin in THE NAKED GUN series of pictures, but who enjoyed a more than 60 year career in motion pictures and television."
"Mr. Nielsen, 84, died of complications of pneumonia in a hospital near his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, surrounded by his lovely wife and dear friends at 5:34pm EST today.
"In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in his name to the charity of your choice."
