    Once acquitted, Rip Torn arrested again on DUI charge

    Associated Press
    NORTH SALEM, N.Y. — Rip Torn, who was acquitted of drunken-driving charges two years ago in New York City, was arrested again Monday in a city suburb after a collision, state police said.

    No one was hurt in the crash in North Salem, Trooper Edward Gillespie said. The 75-year-old character actor refused a sobriety test and would be arraigned on a charge of driving while intoxicated, Gillespie said.

    Torn's publicist, Dick Guttman, said from Los Angeles that he had not heard from Torn and could not comment.

    Torn, a Texas native, has movie, television and stage credits dating to 1956. He has been in such recent movies as Marie Antoinette and Dodgeball and had big hits with the Men in Black movies. He won an Emmy Award in 1996 for playing the hard-drinking producer on TV's The Larry Sanders Show.

    In 2004, Torn was acquitted when jurors said the prosecution failed to prove that he was drinking before his fender-bender with a taxi. A police videotape showed Torn cursing and berating officers before turning down a sobriety test, but his lawyer said that was due to anger, not drinking.

    When he was acquitted, he shook the hands of the male jurors, kissed the hands of the female jurors and said, "I love New York."

    Yeah that was classic. "Wow, look honey, our boy is a genius! He rigged a pulley system so he can eat sausage and work on his stupid drawings. "

    Come on, people! That hair makes him look like a drunk, and that little sneer with the raised eyebrow makes him look like a child molestor. Besides, Rip's whole shirt isn't showing, so he's already at a disadvantage to Nolte...

    Why isn't Gates' hair stick out in odd directions? Doesn't he know how to do a good mugshot? Why the hell is everyone's hair sticking out anyway? Is that from the cops roughing them up?

    Maybe they were sleeping off the drunkenness before the mugshots were taken.
