R.I.P Rip Torn. To me he is always the lawyer in Defending Your Life.

RIP
Payday is literally next in my Netflix queue, and I watched Sweet Bird of Youth a few weeks ago where he's quite memorable in a small part.

To the end, I shall know him for "I need a man with a tattoo on his dick!"
To the end.

Has two astoundingly great film performances Coming Apart and Payday that are among the best for all American actors in that era. The only big 70s actor (or before) you could see giving those is maybe Brando or Nicholson......and even then I'm not so sure.
Tremendously talented guy, part of a tremendously talented, no BS acting couple.
RIP

He was in so many movies, but I distinctly remember him for a leading role in an episode of Columbo.
Rip.

Pretty damn great in his Oscar nominated turn in Cross Creek. His close relationship with his daughter in the film is lovely and heartbreaking, and yet his best ACT was to marry my #2 Female Actress, Geraldine Page. What a brilliant coupling.
Wikipedia has some interesting facts about ole Rip:
While filming Maidstone (1970), Torn struck director and star Norman Mailer in the head with a hammer.[28][29] With the camera rolling, Mailer bit Torn's ear and they wrestled to the ground. The fight continued until it was broken up by cast and crew members.[28] The fight is featured in the film. Although the scene may have been planned by Torn, the blood shed by both actors was real,[28] and Torn was reportedly outraged by Mailer's direction.[29]
In 1994, he filed a defamation lawsuit against Dennis Hopper over a story Hopper told on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[30] Hopper claimed that Torn pulled a knife on him during pre-production of the film Easy Rider (1969). According to Hopper, Torn was originally cast in the film, but was replaced with Jack Nicholson after the incident. Torn claimed in his lawsuit that Hopper pulled the knife on him. A trial court judge ruled in Torn's favor and Hopper was ordered to pay $475,000 in compensatory damages, but denied Torn's request for punitive damages, ruling Hopper had not acted with malice. Hopper appealed. On April 1, 1998, a California appellate court upheld the ruling for compensatory damages, and reversed the ruling for the punitive damages, requiring Hopper to pay another $475,000.[31]
Just checked: His 1972 film Payday is on youtube. Time to see what all the fuss is about.

Rip yelling about how this'll at least make the movie worth watching was on point. Although I think he needed to cut of Mailer's head and hoist it on a stick to actually salvage the project. At least then I would know that something good had happened during production, even if the final project was a disaster. |

To add to this: The fight was later used as evidence in his case against Dennis Hopper, who claimed Rip attacked him with a knife after being replaced by Jack Nicholson in Easy Rider. Rip won his case on the claim that "he could not have possibly killed Hopper as he was, at the time, on the set of Maidstone trying to kill Norman Mailer." |

I’ve always been impressed by his ability to pull off that name. His presence as a character actor will be missed. R.I.P.

Who growls like that? "drink it you pussy." I love it! I'm guessing Torn ripped it from my ex partner. |
