Talk:Rip Torn

message: Torn is said to be an active supporter of conservative causes but the article makes no mention of this. Is there any reason for this?
::Reason: conventional code of silence regarding Hollywood conservatives. That which is not recognized does not exist.
That's pretty snarky and inappropriate. Wikipedia requires links to originally sourced material and isn't here for rumor mills. If there is credible evidence, then add a section and provide the links to back up whatever you add.
It's Wikipedia, after all. Anyone can edit a page. You don't have to wait for someone else to do it.

thread_title:  Name 

message: I am amazed that this article does not mention the movie Coming Apart (1969).  The movie is an unusual experiment that purports to be covertly filmed by the main character, a psychiatrist played by Torn, who installs a motion picture camera in his NY apartment living room.  It depicts the comings and goings of several confused women love interests as the psychiatrist progressively undergoes personality disintegration, coming apart.

message: This may not have been one of his best roles, but probably be worth mentioning.  Also, looking at what was typed up, a lot of the info here is mixed up by date.158.35.225.230 15:43, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Rip Torn also appeared in the movie, The Man Who Fell to Earth along side David Bowie. He played the character Dr. Bryce.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DLNorton (talk • contribs) 00:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a note to that effect (after doing more sweeping edits to the The Man Who Fell to Earth article) but as other commenters have noted, the career section is in dire need of a complete overhaul and a standard filmography section is still absent. - Dravecky (talk) 06:40, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I couldn't help but notice that this article is devoid of a filmography section. Maybe someone with some time to spare could set up one for this article? If you need one to model it after, here's an example. Thanks. CherryFlavoredAntacid (talk) 04:25, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Filmography? 

message: The section "Alcohol–related incidents" states that he broke into the "Litchfield Bancorp branch office in Salisbury, Connecticut, where he maintains a residence." The structure of this sentence makes it sound as though he resides in the office building. Since this is a direct copy of a newspaper article, the blame goes to the journalist who wrote the original news article.Lestrade (talk) 05:25, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

message: This article: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin%E2%80%93Kennedy_meeting
indicates that Rip Torn was present at a meeting with the then Attorney General regarding civil rights in America. I can find no mention of this in the wikipedia article for him. Is his involvement/activism something that is well known/documented? Should it be included? Dtlloyd (talk) 11:28, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

message: The Broadway section lists him as having directed Look Away, and a quick google seems to confirm that, but the link there leads to the Chicago song. The play doesn't appear to have a page. 72.220.192.155 (talk) 09:23, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
