July 10, 20196 yr "We're familiar with it." RIP torn I don't think there was ever a time you popped up on screen that I didn't smile before you a chance to say something.
July 10, 20196 yr It's like the party's over and the last one to leave gets stuck with the check. RIP.
July 10, 20196 yr I’ll always remember him as Fargo from By Dawn’s Early Light which was an excellent late Cold War movie on HBO. The best defense: cut the head off the Soviet chicken. Edited July 10, 20196 yr by mdmost
July 10, 20196 yr ^ that was a great little film. Shit, Rebecca DeMornay showed off her dramatic chops better than anyone. Powers Boothe, James Earl Jones, and the Charles, Sr. from "Billions." Everybody was great in that movie. I know Torn did a lot of silly stuff, but he was masterful at dark comedy. An absolute genius. Nevermind somewhere tonight at the office of East Coast television and microwave programming...a mentee is missing his master.

July 10, 20196 yr I wish all the best for his family - I hear that they’re coming apart at the seams.
July 10, 20196 yr As long as I've been alive the French have been fucking us. Taylor High School class of 1948 RIP, Rip. (BTW, you like black-eyed peas on New Year's Day? You can thank Rip's dad for that, or so they say.... LINK)
July 10, 20196 yr Brave enough for you? RIP Bob Diamond. Man what a loss. This guy could act. I mean act.

July 10, 20196 yr I love that he left the corps of cadets because they were ‘comically absurd’ to transfer to UT. When the irreverently jocular Rip Torn thinks your little club is unironically laughable, you have serious issues. And he went on to become a decorated Army veteran. Real Army Real Longhorn Real Texan Real Funny Really Missed

July 10, 20196 yr Blew my mind to read that he was the bad guy in Beastmaster. Guess I was too distracted by this to pay attention any further.

July 10, 20196 yr All of that for a paragraph The way Torn tells it, it was Hopper who pulled a knife on him. Hopper had made some remark about how "all Texans are assholes," and Torn told him, "You can't judge all Texans by me." This outraged Hopper, who grabbed a knife off the dinner table and lunged at Torn--a former military policeman--who then turned the weapon on his attacker, forcing Hopper to drop it.
