While I loved his style of comedy, he did not start as a comedic actor. I see him in a lot of old westerns....

May he rest in peace.

He had that gift of natural timing in comedy. You don't get many like him in a lifetime.

Aww, a great one leaves us with great memories....RIP Mr. Nielson.

Rumack: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.

Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?

Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
