The actor, always a favorite of mine, passed away today at the age of 57. Kirby played the young Clemenza in "The Godfather, Part II," and like his costar John Cazale, his cinematic output was scarce, but much of it was memorable. He may be best known as Billy Crystal's friend in both "City Slickers" and "When Harry Met Sally," and just last month showed up on "Entourage" as that producer whose "Shrek" doll was stolen. He will be missed.
