	Biography for Bruno Kirby (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Native New Yorker and Italianate Bruno Kirby tended towards assertive, pushy streetwise characters and was armed with a highly distinctive scratchy tenor voice that complimented his slim eyes and droopy puss and accentuated his deadpan comedic instincts on film and TV.
		Bruno's close association with director Rob Reiner and comic actor Billy Crystal arguably led to the apex of his film career.
		Bruno was equally effective in taut, heavier stories and supported such up-and-coming stars as Leonardo DiCaprio in the dark and downbeat The Basketball Diaries (1995) and Johnny Depp in the mob family-styled drama Donnie Brasco (1997).

	Actor Bruno Kirby Dies... \| The Huffington Post
		To the unschooled, Kirby was that guy who was often "that guy" — familiar, welcome, and distinctive; no doubt many people had that reaction a few weeks ago when he cropped up in "Entourage" as Shrek-doll loving producer Phil Rubenstein, another of the smart, satisfying casting choices made on that show.
		Bruno's dad is another great face in character acting, Bruce Kirby; he played the guy on 'Columbo' who ALWAYS thought the crime was exactly as it was staged and thought Columbo was deranged, even after being proved wrong massive numbers of times.
		Though both he and his dad took the last name Kirby, their heritage is actually Italian, which makes Bruno's great role in "Godfather II" as the young Clemenza a much more understandable piece of casting.
