I liked him.

He was a hell-raiser back in the day. RIP, Rip.

His name reminds me of Dick Trickle. That can’t be his real name, is it?

His real first name was Elmore? I can see why he invented another name. Rip had a very long career. I always got the impression that he was a friendly person, even off camera.

One of the best stage names of all time.

I loved him in Down Periscope: “I need a man with a tattoo on his d**k. Do I have the right man?”

Like Leslie Nielsen, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, and Robert Stack, Rip turned to comedy later in his career and was very good at it.

It was his real name, passed down in his family.

Utterly bizarre.
Im watching A Face In The Crowd. (1957) Not five minutes ago I saw the young character Barry Mills, and, thinking he looked familiar went to the IMDB site to see the list of characters in the movie.
I saw that it was Rip Torn who played the part.
As I am wont to do, I checked the FR site a few minutes ago and found this thread.
This was the first I heard.

He did good evil. I remember him all the way back when he was trying to fix the card game between McQueen and Edward G. Robinson in the Cincinnati Kid.

I didnt realize it was such a minor infraction. According to Wikipedia his last name at birth was Torn, but Rip was merely a well-struck infraction.

I’d pee on a spark plug if it would help!
