I guess he's now trapped near the inner circle of thought for good. What a great actor. Always had a presence. RIP, Rip. Actor Rip Torn  | ||

He was an old favorite of mine, he had some great roles. RIP "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead."

Love that guy's work. RIP Rip. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

Enjoyed his work. He was the murderer on a Columbo episode-always something to have on your resume. | |||

Very good, bendable.  Yeah, I liked his work. When I was young, the 1961 film King of Kings played frequently during Easter and Christmas, so I first saw Mr. Torn when I was a very young. He played Judas in the film. Just as a couple of examples, I liked him in Walter Hill's Extreme Prejudice. He was a hoot in Men in Black. He was a busy man with 191 film and TV acting credits to his name. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

RIP, Rip. A good performer. I will miss him. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Good actor. RIP, Rip. (Didn't he "wander" into a bank all drunk and pass out a few years ago?) ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

My favorite scene that I can recall right now was Patches O'Houlihan with a bunch of wrenches. Hilarious. RIP, Mr. Torn. *** "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca | |||

He was illegally carrying a firearm at the time as well. Said he thought he was breaking into his own home. | |||

Really had a distinctive voice, when he spoke, you knew who was speaking. RIP Mr Torn. | |||

The first thing I saw him in that I can remember is when he played Col. Fargo in “By Dawns Early Light” Regards, P. | |||

Sad to hear this. A very gifted actor and even his name was unique. .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

A distinctive presence. And for a perhaps dubious honor, wasn't there a moment in a Tom Clancy novel (or one from some similar author) in which a Soviet officer/official mentions Rip Torn as an example of American decadence? ________ Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto | |||

RIP Rip. Have a Salty Dog. Drink it, you pussy. A man who does not read has no appreciable advantage over the man who cannot read. | |||

Rip Torn was often cast as a heavy in his younger days. I remember him as Slade in The Cincinnati Kid: "I want to see that 'old man' gutted!"  __________________________ "We're after men - and I wish to God I was with them.
