	Actors - Bruno Kirby

Bruno Kirby (born Bruno Giovanni Quidaciolu, Jr., April 28 1949) is an American character actor. He made his film debut in the little-seen The Young Graduates (1971), before being cast as Richard S. Castellano's son on the sitcom The Super. Later that year, interestingly, Castellano was in The Godfather
(1972) as hefty Pete Clemenza, a prominent member of the Corleone crime family, a role Kirby would play as a younger version in the sequel, The Godfather: Part II, which helped raise the actor's profile in Hollywood.

Described by film critic Leonard Maltin as the guy cast as the quintessential New Yorker or cranky straight man, Kirby has carved a career out of this in a series of comedies. The most well-known of these are The Freshman, Good Morning, Vietnam
(as a jealous U.S. Army officer in denial of his mediocre comedy), and City Slickers
, turning in wonderful work as a sporting goods store owner and best friend of Billy Crystal. With that association with Crystal, one of his more memorable roles is that of Crystal's best friend in When Harry Met Sally...
perfectly matching Crystal word for word with chemistry. But he's also a dramatic actor and proved himself in Donnie Brasco and Sleepers
(in an unusual transformation).

Kirby married actress Lynn Sellers in 2004. He is the son of actor Bruce Kirby (born Bruno Giovanni Quidaciolu, Sr.) and brother of respected LA acting coach, John Kirby.
