Hollywood veteran Kevin Pollak spills wild secrets about ‘craziest’ actor he’s ever worked with

Kevin Pollak recalled several eccentric incidents involving actor Rip Torn while they were working on the 1995 film *Canadian Bacon*. Speaking on a radio programme, Pollak said Torn often suspected people on the cast or crew were against him and repeatedly mentioned being on Richard Nixon’s enemies list.

Pollak also recounted how fellow actor Kevin O’Connor and his wife, staying in a neighbouring hotel room in Toronto, heard Torn shouting through the walls and kept a list of his most memorable remarks. Torn, who died in 2019, was an acclaimed film, television and theatre actor, with an Oscar nomination for *Cross Creek* and an Emmy Award for *The Larry Sanders Show*.
