Fine actor and funny fella. Just learned he disarmed Denis Hopper when he pulled a knife on him while filming Easy Rider (Torn was kicked off and replaced by Jack Nicholson), smacked Norman Mailer in the head with a hammer who then bit part of his ear off on the film after that, then at age 79 was woken up by plod in a bank he'd broken into while wrecked and asked what they were doing in his house. Respect.
