I worked with a guy who would go to the same AA meetings as Rip, said he seemed like a nice guy and everyone was bummed when he stopped showing (only did the court-ordered amount).

I don't think I'll ever forget the story of his arrest back in 2009.

Rip Torn got super drunk, broke into a bank with a loaded handgun in the middle of the night thinking it was his home, curled up and went to sleep. When police arrived responding to the alarm, Rip asked them what they're all doing in his home.

Then they turned his character on 30 Rock into a bird.

He was in a hell of a lot of stuff, but not really anything for the ages. I liked seeing him in things though, so rip, Rip.

If you've ever wanted to see Rip Torn's penis I recommend The Man Who Fell to Earth (also David Bowie's penis)

I will never not love the story behind his fight with Norman Mailer. If you haven't read it, the Wikipedia entry for the movie "Maidstone" is a must-read.

It's so sad to lose Rip. Like a bunch of us I got to know him from his movie roles in MiB and Freddy got Fingered. In my humblest of opinions his best work was on The Larry Sanders Show. To me Artie is the best sitcom character of all time (with Hank as a close second).

The show is from the 90s still holds up extremely well. It's streaming on HBO if you want to get your Rip on.

I finally watched all of The Larry Sanders Show last year, and it's still hilarious. You're absolutely right, Artie's my favourite character, even though I thought he could've done better than his predilection for Glenlivet.

Rip won his case on the claim that "he could not have possibly killed Hopper as he was, at the time, on the set of Maidstone trying to kill Norman Mailer."

He was the CEO, it was a different character that got burned by the jet pack (great, now I'm on record admitting to remembering Robocop 3)

Here's a clip of the ending with Rip:
