    Kind of messed up they listed him as the actor from city slickers.

    it is one of his more famous roles.

    I liked him as the skeevy coach in the Basketball Diaries

    Rest in peace Bruno. You made a lot of people happy and will always be appreciated for doing so

    I didnt realize he was that old...

    sad news...

    his role in Spinal Tap, and his performance in the scenes that didnt make the final cut (there is a 6 hour version floating around out there) is off the waffle iron...

    RIP

    Check out his IMDB entry. He was a regular on Room 222 (like 1970/71) and in a strange twist, Kirby, who played young Clemenza in Godfather 2, played the son of Richard Castellano (old Clemenza) in a pre-Godfather TV series called 'The Super'.

    His father Bruce Kirby was a pretty familiar character actor.

    Crossings your in LA right? If so you might want to check a spot on Vermont in the Los feliz village. I forget the name of the store but its right next door to where Fatbeats used to be and about one block south of the Dresden room. They got tons off oddities and bootlegs for rent. I wouldn't be surprised if they had the 6 hour Spinal Tap cassette
