| | Rip Torn |
 | | Torn hitchhiked to Hollywood, where he was soon doing odd jobs to pay the rent, but he started landing small roles on TV dramas like The Alcoa Hour and Kraft Television Theater. |
 | | He played Judas in King of Kings, Henry Miller in Tropic of Cancer, a shady anesthesiologist in Coma, a perfectly sleazy Richard M. Nixon in Blind Ambition, a boffo Ronald Reagan in Airplane 2, Albert Brooks's attorney in Defending Your Life, MIB Chief Zed in Men in Black, and a wrench-tossing coach in Dodgeball. |
 | | In his lawsuit, Torn agreed on most of the details, but said that it was Hopper who'd pulled a knife on Torn. |
