R. Rich Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 How sad. I liked the part in When Harry Met Sally when he was so happy over the wagon wheel table. Funny stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=2318081 744485[/snapback] 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senator Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 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.

Buftex Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoondckCL Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 He was an actor who always took on roles that weren't the easiest to play and you have to respect an actor willing to take on new tasks and new characters. RIP Bruno Kirby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
