Rip Torn’s name was Elwood – Jr. His father was an agronomist, famous for introducing black-eyed peas to Viet Nam. The “Rip” was not a stage name, but a nickname as a kid for “rip and snort” (Texan for run amok). Sissy Spasek is his cousin, who stated his apartment buzzer was labeled “Torn Page” (Geraldine).

Rip Haywire is alive and well and living on gocomics. If you haven’t checked him out, you should!
