RIP - Rip Torn

[Michchamp]

I never knew much about him, beyond a couple of his pop roles (Men In Black) but damn, this is a hell of an obituary.

Oh man. Funny man, may you rest in peace.

He put the RIP in Rest In Peace.

This part:

After Torn met with Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy in an attempt to start an integrated national theater in 1963, he was targeted by the FBI and found trouble finding work in major motion pictures. "I began to see things in gossip columns, stories about me," he once said.

In 1970, on the day after Torn spoke out against the Vietnam War on The Dick Cavett Show, a bullet was fired through the window of his Manhattan home.​

can't believe this would occur in "The Land of the Free"!
