A better title for this thread would have been - &quot;FREDO GETS HIS REVENGE!!!&quot;

<p>It is pretty incredible the level of difficulty I had in finding an image of this guy!!</p><p>It's funny you mention that. I couldn't remember what this guy looked like so I went on dozens of search engines and web sites yesterday and couldn't&nbsp;find a picture. Strangely enough, there are plenty of pictures of a Richard Bright who was born in 1789 and was an MD in England.</p><p>Tough way to go, getting hit by a bus. At least it was over quickly.</p><p>R.I.P.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

I have found this on many occasions, where no images of famous people exists, and I dont know why.&nbsp; Even IMDB had no images.&nbsp; No news sites had any images. Very strange.

<p>Bright's light has been dimmed...</p><p>RIP</p>

<p>Here's a&nbsp;nice shot of his back:</p><p><img src="file:///C:/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/conte%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>He was the guy dressed as the cop who gunned down Barzini on the courthouse steps.&nbsp; Another great scene is when he slowly shuts the door on Kay as Michael officially ascends the throne of the family.</p><p>Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think that other than the big three (Pacino, Keaton and Shire) Richard Bright is the only other person to appear in all three Godfathers.</p>

&quot;wheres gussy???&quot; thats what i remember him from, in The Ref with Dennis Leary.

[FUNKMAN]

when i saw him in the scene where Michael tells his wife he had nothing to do with Carlos's murder and then enters the room where Bright was and the door slowly closes as Michael's wife is watching, all i thought was &quot;that guys not italian&quot; he looked like an irishman...
