    That barely audible "it's a fad" from Spinal Tap, so frickin' funny. So, so funny. Great, buoyant, actor.

    I just worked with him on a shoot for the "Larry Sanders" DVD. He was a genuinally nice person in a sea of Hollywood a-holes. RIP Bruno.

    he was awesome in Spinal Tap. I just watched Sleepers last week, he was Shake's dad in that one. 57? wow.

    Not many people know that he was also Clemenza (the young version) in Godfather II... one of those "where do I know that guy from" moments that struck me when I was watching it the other day.

    He was also in a recent episode of Entourage... he played the guy who had the Shrek doll, that Vince's hoodlem friend "stole".

    RIP

    I can't think of a movie of his that I've seen that I didn't enjoy. He was just in an episode of Entourage recently as well. I had no idea he was sick.
