Richard Bright, the actor who played the perp "Robert Sawyer" in this season's ep "Name" (where Stabler and the CSI badge bunny solve this cold case) was killed in a bus accident last night. Mr. Bright was best known for playing Michael Corleone's hitman (and later chief of security) "Al Neri" in all three installments of the "Godfather." In the first, Neri killed Barzini, the one who engineered the Tattaglia-Corleone war that got the Don shot and Sonny killed. In the the second, he kills Fredo, and in the third, he kills a Cardinal. Here is a link and the story: www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/62127.htmmakeashorterlink.com/?S14B24BAC"February 19, 2006 -- A debonair 68-year-old actor — whose half- century career included a memorable role in all three "Godfather" movies — was last night dragged to his death in a horrific tour-bus accident on the Upper West Side, police sources said. Richard Bright, whose piercing blue eyes and dark hair saw him often cast as a cop or criminal, crumpled to the ground as he was hit by the rear wheel of an Academy bus at about 6:30 p.m. as it turned left on Columbus Avenue at 86th Street, according to witnesses." *Thanks to Cal over at the Diane Neal Yahoo! group for that info. (C&P'd directly)* Send your thoughts and prayers to Bright's family and friends tonight.
