Talk:Bruno Kirby

Untitled
Bruno Kirby looks and sounds like a gentleman i once worked with as a carpenter in West Los Angeles. He always told me he was really an actor, and I always hoped the best for him, but I am hoping to find that he finally made it. That guy is good! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.231.103.46 (talk • contribs) 03:59, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

"He was a very talented actor playing varied roles through out his life."

This article needs a good scrubbing and re-writing, if only as a tribute to this fine actor. (Which, because this is a talk page and MY POV, is okay to say!)

Does a promo-photo work now?
I saw that the AP obit is using a promo photo from a TV movie he did. Do you think the FA reasoning for using a promo-photo is now "ripe" considering it's now substantially more difficult to get a GDFL photo of him? --Bobak 00:39, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Mother?
Does anyone have info on who she was? Mad Jack 08:10, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * His mother apparently died before he did, although I've found nothing specific, his stepmother was his father's wife Roz. I just watched him on an episode of Homicide, I had no idea he was dead until now.--T. Anthony 10:52, 7 October 2006 (UTC)


 * "his stepmother was his father's wife" Really? Jmdeur (talk) 03:35, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Fluent in Italian
I was amazed by Bruno's fluency in Italian when I saw him in The Godfather Part II! He was even better than Robert De Niro. Does anybody know how he mastered the language ? Does anybody know if his family was originally from the Italian region called Sardinia ? --85.18.81.137 (talk) 00:40, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Name
In the DVD commentary track to Godfather II Francis Ford Coppola refers to Kirby as Bruce Kirby. Is this Coppola's error or was he known as Bruce? TheOneOnTheLeft (talk) 21:32, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

pointless & useless information
One of Wikipedia's bad points is the way writers persistently insert information that has nothing whatever to do with the subject at hand. I have therefore removed the reference to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This particular case seems to be an example of Americans' idiotic worship of sports stars. Are we supposed to have a higher opinion of Bruno Kirby because he just happened to be attending Power Memorial Academy at the same time as someone who became a famous basketball player? (Were they dating, or something?) I looked at Jabbar's article, but it doesn't include anything about Kirby. The "influence" apparently works only one way.

Sardinian ancestry
It's pretty obvious he has Sardinian ancestry given his last name, but can't find any reliable sources. Has anyone else? Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 14:37, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
