LESLIE NIEKSEN WAS ALREADY A CO-STAR IN LADY IN WAITING AND A GUEST VICTIM IN IDENTITY CRISIS. I AGREE THAT HE WOULD OF BEEN A GREAT GUEST MURDERER IN A COLUMBO EPISODE. JUST WATCH THE FIRST VREEPSHOW. HE PLAYED A VERY GOOD VILLIAN. HE TURNED 80 IN FEBRAYARY AND RECENTLY APPEARED AS THE PRESIDENT IN SCARY MOVIE 3 AND SCARY MOVIE 4
I heard Leslie on a radio show a couple of years back and the presenter mentioned to him his appearances on Columbo. Leslie said he'd appeared on three or four (two in fact) but it was cool that he remembered that small part of his career and he said he enjoyed working with Peter and learned a lot from him. His best role though was as Lt Captain Frank Drebin in Police Squad. Outrageously funny show.
