Damn, I just saw this headline on CNN. Sucks, sucks, sucks. He was such a likeable actor. I just watched Albert Brooks' Modern Romance again last weekend and commented on to my girlfriend how much I always like Bruno on screen. What a huge, unexpected bummer.

Sad news indeed.

Unless he was murdered by Fisher Stevens, in which case all bets are off.

I also heard Bruno complained about the acting skills of Turtle, E and Vince on 'Entourage' as well. He was such a stickler.

Seriously, he was great in City Slickers. Rest in Peace ...

RIP

He was always a pleasure to watch on screen. It's sad that he and Crystal had a falling out. I hope some reconcilliation was reached.
