SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Legendary actor Rip Torn has died. He was 88. Torn died “peacefully” at his Lakeville, Connecticut home can't ask for much better way to pass on than that I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he didn't die from getting crushed by two tons of irony. RIP Rip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve O Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Not seeing the obit, here it is https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2019/jul/10/rip-torn-obituary Found the below part interesting. Anyways, RIP (no pun intended) "In 1969, Dennis Hopper offered Torn the role of the pot-smoking lawyer in Easy Rider. Torn withdrew from the project after he and Hopper got into a bitter argument in a New York restaurant ending with Hopper pulling a knife on Torn. As a result, Torn was replaced by Jack Nicholson, whose appearance in the film launched him into stardom. In 1994, Hopper told Jay Leno on The Tonight Show that it was Torn who had pulled a knife on him. Torn sued. A judge heard from both sides, and from witnesses who had been at the restaurant, and decided to award Torn $475,000. When Hopper appealed, another judge doubled the award." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
