I always enjoyed seeing Rip. He passed today at 88, with a seven-decade acting career under his belt.

That sucks! I enjoyed many of his roles, especially as Zed from MIB and Patches O’Houlihan from Dodgeball.

RIP Mr Torn!

At the early start of their careers, Burt Reynolds was sharing a place with Rip Torn. ( mismatched roomies)
I liked A variety of Torn's roles. "Slaughter " was not his best movie, but I liked it cause Stella Stevens had her clothes off , a couple of times.

R.I.P. Rip. ( prolly on his tombstone. )

Crap.

I really liked Rip Torn.

He did a great job as the sheriff in Extreme Prejudice (https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Prejudice-Nick-Nolte/dp/B000JED54A/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=extreme+prejudice&qid=1562780741&s=gateway&sr=8-1).

My first recollection of watching Rip Torn in a movie is the terribly awesome 80's classic "The Beastmaster".

Yes, R.I.P., Rip.

I liked his sheriff character, in Extreme Prejudice, the most.

Favorite quote from Rip Torn's sheriff in Extreme Prejudice: "Hell, ain't nuthin' lower than a politician...'cept maybe a child molester."
