"Tu va arrêter ce taré"

Sorry, that should be "Tu va l'arrêter ce taré" - which makes more sense.

Rip Torn Busted for Allegedly Breaking Into Bank

Posted Jan 30th 2010 1:29PM by TMZ Staff

Rip Torn was arrested Friday night for allegedly breaking into a bank while drunk and armed with a loaded revolver.

State police responded to an alarm at the Litchfield Bancorp building in Salisbury, CT at 9:40 PM last night. Police say they found Torn "with a loaded revolver" and he was "highly intoxicated."

Law enforcement sources tell us Torn gained access through a broken window, which they believe Torn broke himself.

Torn was taken to the Troop B barracks in North Canaan and is being held on $100,000 bond.

Cops say Torn was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass and third-degree criminal mischief.

According to the Register Citizen, he is scheduled to appear in court on February 1.

Rip has had previous alcohol-related arrests -- one of which yielded the greatest mug shot in the history of mankind.

Actor Rip Torn was arrested in December 2006 in Westchester, New York and charged with drunk driving after his 1995 Chevy Cavalier collided with a tractor-trailer as he attempted to make a turn. When state police arrived at the scene, the 75-year-old actor refused a Breathalyzer before being taken to a Somers police station where the below mug shot was snapped.

1995 Chevy Cavalier - Rip Torn: just another over-entitled Hollywood auto fetishist.

if not the bank had it coming, quite frankly.

I found a Payday lobby card at an antique mall a few weeks back. Only $3. Torn isn't on it though--it's one of the women.

I'm not gonna try to describe the Godard-abandoned Pennebaker semidocumentary 1 PM, but if you ever wanted to see Rip and Jean-Luc putting on an interactive-theatre piece in a Bushwick classroom circa 1970, here you go.

i am v sad about this one

jou're much too jung, girl (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 10 July 2019 12:53 (six years ago)

One of the most gloriously unwieldy acting careers ever

Simon H., Wednesday, 10 July 2019 12:54 (six years ago)

I seem to vacillate every time I rewatch Larry Sanders on whether Artie or Hank is the greatest character of all time. I think I came down Artie this last time round.

I just loved seeing Torn in anything and everything. He had an unmatched energy, for sure.

Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 10 July 2019 13:01 (six years ago)

It's not a problem because they're all the greatest in the greatest show of all time.

jou're much too jung, girl (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 10 July 2019 13:32 (six years ago)

All of what you say is 100% otm.

Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 10 July 2019 13:33 (six years ago)

yeah it's impossible to imagine the show without those three characters played by those three specific actors

it's a GESTALT maaaaan

Coming Apart is really something. I saw him introduce it once & he seemed especially proud of it.

I've been re-watching some Larry Sanders today, from a horribly compressed torrent (90 eps crushed to 2.6 gig!) but the quality of his tour de force as Artie is undiminished.

calzino, Wednesday, 10 July 2019 14:32 (six years ago)

who in our darkest hour has not wanted to betray Jesus, or go after Mailer with a hammer?

dang. R.I.P. you treasure.

am compelled to report the last time i got to enjoy him was in a recent viewing of '85's summer rental, which was a fam favorite for me from when we as a fam first started renting videos around, well, '85.

scully, left, and jack chester, right, try to recall how many beers they drank.

well shit nm. you've seen the man anyway.

andrew m., Wednesday, 10 July 2019 14:52 (six years ago)

in my memory that time he broke into the bank because he thought it was his house, he was also naked and carrying a samurai sword

the internet has gone mandela effect at me abt the last two facts

mark s, Wednesday, 10 July 2019 14:53 (six years ago)

TBF, I'm sure he was naked and wielding a samurai sword most of the rest of the time.

Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 10 July 2019 14:55 (six years ago)

Watched Artie After Hours again at the weekend, and a bunch of other eps of Larry Sanders. That show was godhead.

SHANTY the golden fish portion (stevie), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 09:00 (six years ago)

Lol @ Hopper being sued by Torn for keeping up that stupid story.

Poll doesn't include several items. Definitely a few things to check out, not least to see how he constructed the Artie character.
