Veteran actor Rip Torn, "Men in Black", "Defending Your Life", "The Gary Shandling Show" has passed at 86 or 88.
A veteran of the Korean War and US Army MP, he starred in a few war time dramas. He was a friend of a friend and known for unpredictable and imaginative behavior. Which also means he could be a pain-in-the-arse. Still. I enjoyed his many roles and will miss him. I always got a kick out of his mock seriousness and enjoyed his evil humor. RIP, sir.

That's a fitting tribute. Looked at my movie book and his many film credits go back to 1956 (Baby Doll, Pork Chop Hill). Very talented. RIP.

Wasn't he in Dr Strangelove? No, but he would have fit in.

Always a fan. First time I saw him was as Maax the evil cult leader in The Beastmaster. I recall hearing a few stories of his crazy antics. haha What a character. Another great passes into legend.
