Hollywood Veteran Kevin Pollak Names the Craziest Co-Star He Ever Worked With

Kevin Pollak didn’t have to think twice when asked to name the craziest actor he’s ever worked with.

The “Tulsa King” actor pointed the finger at Hollywood veteran Rip Torn, recalling a series of bizarre incidents that occurred on the set of “Canadian Bacon,” a film starring John Candy released after his death.

“Oh, gee. It’s not even a competition,” Pollak said during an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show.”

Torn, who died in 2019, kept his co-stars guessing, according to Pollak.

“Every day, Rip would decide that someone in the cast or crew was out to get him,” Pollak recalls.

Pollak, who also starred in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” said Torn repeatedly brought up her inclusion on former President Richard Nixon’s enemies list.

“If a day went by without Rip Torn saying, ‘I was on Nixon’s list.’ Alright, we got it,” Pollak joked.

Pollak recalled that fellow actor Kevin O’Connor and his new wife stayed in a room next to Torn at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto.

According to Pollak, the couple repeatedly heard Torn yelling at someone through the hotel’s thin walls. After weeks of hearing the outbursts, O’Connor and his wife came up with their own top 10 of Torn’s most memorable lines.
