Today we lost one of the great character actors of the last 30 years, Bruno Kirby, after a long illness. 
Kirby's work in The Godfather, Part II, Good Morning Vietnam ("Oh, Lt. Steve!"), City Slickers, and This is Spinal Tap ("This is a fad!") will earn him a special place in the memories of many film fans. Without good character actors, the screen would be filled with stars and wannabe stars, which is why I have such affection for them. They bring colour and life to what could be a screen full of egos. We don't seem to appreciate them until they're gone.
Via don Dios, Bruno.
