Character Actor Bruno Kirby, Dead at 57

You'd immediately recognize the face (and the voice) from movies like "City Slickers," "Good Morning Vietnam," and "When Harry Met Sally," but you might not remember the guy's name. (Good character actors are like that.) The man's name was Bruno Kirby, and we're sad to say that he passed away last night at the age of 57. Back to Article
