Rip Torn is celebrating his 94th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Rip Torn (DodgeBall, Men in Black, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 94th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Torn, a cultural icon

Born Elmore Rual Torn in Temple on February 6, 1931, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Torn's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Rip hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Rip Torn as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 94.

Happy Birthday, Rip, you're the best!
