Bruno Kirby Died Yesterday

[Rupert Pupkin]

I was saddened to learn that actor Bruno Kirby died yesterday of leukemia at the age of 57. For those of you who don't know the name, you all have seen him in a million things. He co-starred with Billy Crystal in both "When Harry Met Sally" and "City Slickers".

He played the by-the-rules lieutentant who lacked a sense of humor in "Good Morning Vietnam".

He was the co-star of "The Freshman" with Matthew Brodderick and Marlon Brando. He played Marlon Brando's nephew. I loved the scene at the beginning of the movie when he stole Matthew Broderick's luggage and Matthew Broderick was chasing him down the street.

Kirby was also in "Tin Men" and "This Is Spinal Tap". He was in a ton of other movies too. I can't believe he was 57. I thought he was in his late 40s. He was a really good actor and seemed like a really good guy. He will be missed.
