    Rip Torn Has Died

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

    RIP, Rip.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    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. )

    Given the size & power of “Ivan”, we must now … and ever be Vigilant.

    Crap.

    I really liked Rip Torn.

    He did a great job as the sheriff in Extreme Prejudice.

    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.

    That was one of my favorite bad movies as a kid.

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