He really goes for him with that hammer, but it's surely Mailer who is doing the biting. It seems even better with the French substitles.

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.

On September 8, 1963, [Geraldine Page] married actor Rip Torn, who was six years her junior, in Pinal, Arizona. They had three children: a daughter, actress Angelica Page, and twin sons, Anthony "Tony" and Jonathan "Jon" Torn.
Beginning in the early 1980s, Page and Torn lived separately after he started dating actress Amy Wright; Torn had first met Wright in 1976 and began an affair shortly after. Page was aware of Torn and Wright's relationship, and appeared onstage opposite Wright in the 1977 Off-Broadway production of The Stronger, under Torn's direction. In 1983, Torn fathered a child with Wright. Upon the birth of the child, Page was questioned about her marriage by columnist Cindy Adams, to which she responded: "Of course Rip and I are still married. We've been married for years. We're staying married. What's the big fuss?" In spite of their separation, Page and Torn remained married until her death; her daughter described their relationship as still "close" up until Page died in 1987.

Torn’s absolute commitment to the role is not matched by Mailer’s, and the two-hander becomes a macho stand-off, ended by Torn when – to calm one of Mailer’s children who’s crying in fright – he says, “It was just a scene in your daddy’s Hollywood whorehouse movie.”

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.
