RIP Bruno Kirby

Damn, based on the name I was thinking vacuum cleaners.

 

I thought he was good in The Godfather and City Slickers.  I never sat through all of When Harry Met Sally though. 

 

Too young to die.

Yeah. He was the young version of Pete Clemenza in The Godfather, Part II.

Very sad indeed - but we have his work to remember.

 

My favorite is The Freshman - with Matthew Broderick,  Penelope Ann Miller, Marlon Brando, et al...

 

The Freshman

 

A must-see.

 

RIP Bruno Kirby.

 

:rolleyes:

You forget how good that movie was. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

RIP Bruno.

I am a huge fan of the always overlooked "Larry Sanders" show...for those of you not familiar it was an early HBO series, starring Gary Shandling as a tv talk-show host, in the style of Letterman/Leno....an ongoing gag, throughout the 7 years the show was on, was that Bruno Kirby, a scheduled guest, would always get bumped, and would be braught back another time....often, they would just cut to Kirby in the green room (his only apperence on that particular episode) throwing up his hands and saying "Goddamitt!" It was pretty funny....RIP Bruno...one of those people that not everyone knows by name, but everyone has seen him in something...

Loved that show - so far ahead of it's time, I think - forgot all about the Bruno Kirby gag - funny stuff.

You got that right, Sen. A very underrated movie, IMO.

 

RIP, Bruno.

I always liked Bruno's scene in "City Slickers" where he and Crystal and Stern are discussing what they considered to be the best day of their life and the worst day of their life.

 

Bruno starts talking about how his best day was the day he finally got the guts to tell his worthless, abusive father to get the !@#$ out of his family's life and that he was going to take care of the family from then on.

 

Stern asks him, "That was your best? What was your worst?" to which Bruno responds, "Same day."

 

Great flick.
