No need to apologize!
I don't have much familiarity with him. Except that when I was a kid there were two brothers in our neighborhood named Travis and Tor, who were little scoundrels, and my dad (who had trouble remembering names so he always made up new ones) called them Rip and Tear. So every time I hear of Rip Torn I think of them.

With a name like that, I kept expecting him to be a porn star. I also liked him as an actor.

Curb Your Enthusiasm
Dodge Ball
Down Periscope
Men In Black
Those are ones I'm most familiar with. But look at this, a long and storied career with a Grammy and an Oscar nomination.

Rumor has it he got kicked off the cast of Easy Rider.
