THE HAT SQUAD: RICHARD BRIGHT

During my overnight shift, I heard on 1010 WINS that character actor Richard Bright, who was 68 years of age, fell under the back wheels of a bus on the Upper East Side and was killed instantly.

Richard Bright is best known as Al Neri, Michael Corleone's bodyguard in 'The Godfather Saga'. (This is Toobworld, after all.) His best known scene to my mind was in the second movie, out in the rowboat with Fredo near the end of the film......
