\"Bruno<\/a>
Cinematical<\/i> reports that actor Bruno Kirby died<\/a> at the age of 57 due to “complications related to leukemia.” This is quite shocking considering his age and his relatively recent diagnosis.<\/p>\n

To summarize his career with a soundbite from City Slickers<\/i> greatly diminishes the true breadth of his career, but I have to agree with Cinematical<\/i> and admit that I can still hear him ranting about cows and VCRs… \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

Shut up! Just shut up! He doesn’t get it! He’ll never get it! It’s been 4 hours! The cows can tape something by now! Forget about it please! \u00a0\".wav\u00a0<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bruno Kirby<\/a>’s other memorable movie roles included the young Clemenza in The Godfather: Part II<\/i>, Robin Williams’ nemesis in Good Morning, Vietnam<\/i>, and Billy Crystal’s best friend in When Harry Met Sally<\/i>, among many others. He will truly be missed… \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> Popwatch<\/i><\/a> has a nice tribute to Bruno Kirby, but the highlight of the post is the comments section; all of the reminiscences about favorite Kirby movie and TV moments are really a testament to the impact Kirby had as an actor…<\/p>\n
