Personal Quote:

[on his wrestling a "wild grizzly bear" (it was actually a docile honey bear] in Day of the Animals] I had to weave and play around with a honey bear, and I could wrestle with him a little bit, but there's no way you can even wrestle a honey bear, let alone a grizzly bear that's standing ten feet to eleven feet tall! Can you imagine? But it was fascinating to work that close to that kind of animal. See more »

Was considered for the role of Jack Torrance in The Shining. See more »

Trademark:

Misinterprets what other people say. For example, in The Naked Gun, a character offers him a cigar and says, "Cuban?" Leslie's character replies with "Err, no. Dutch Irish. My father was from Wales." See more »
