More stage work followed, and then movie assignments, commencing with the all-star "Catch 22" (1970), and continuing into the 1980s with such productions as "Sweet Dreams" (1985) and "Throw Momma from the Train" (1987). Kirby's TV career has embraced both series successes (1989's Anything But Love, as "Jamie Lee Curtis"' father), ignoble failures (1976's Holmes and Yoyo, as Henry Sedford), and a few projects which never sold (Kirby was in two busted pilots for something called McNamara's Band). In 1984, Kirbyreturned to Broadway to understudy "Dustin Hoffman" as Willy Loman in the revival of Death of a Salesman. "Bruce Kirby", sometimes billed as Bruce Kirby Sr., was the father of actor "Bruno Kirby", who formerly billed himself as B. Kirby Jr. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
