I just saw him on Entourage recently. He was looking a little on the heavy side, although that had nothing do with the cause of death apparently. It sucks that he's gone. He hadn't done much recently, but he was always fun to watch onscreen.

"You know, it's just that people like this...you know...they get all they want so they don't really understand, you know...about a life like Frank's, I mean, you know when you've loved and lost the way Frank has, then you uh..you know what life's about."
"I understand you're pretty funny as a dee-jay and, well, comedy is kind of a hobby of mine. Well, actually, it's a little more than just a hobby, Reader's Digest is considering publishing two of my jokes."
and lest we forget..."You made a woman meow?"
RIP Bruno, we'll miss ya.

Too bad, he was good in so many movies.
Television as well. One memorable spot was on The Larry Sanders Show when he and Steven Wright both refused to give up the lead spot and came out together. Another was on Homicide: Life on the Street, with BK as an ex-con stalking Andre Braugher.

Count me as one of the ones who didn't even know Bruno was ill.
Happy trails, partner.
And, let's give a nod to his best work...not just as a cop, but as "A Cop On The Edge"! (on David Letterman)

I remember hearing years ago that he and Billy Crystal, once good friends, had a major falling out. (Not sure why.) If that's true, I wonder if they ever reconciled?
