Kevin Pollak didn’t have to think twice when asked to name the craziest actor he ever worked with.
The “Tulsa King” actor singled out late Hollywood veteran Rip Torn, recalling a string of bizarre incidents from the set of “Canadian Bacon,” a film starring John Candy that was released after his death.
“Oh, jeez. 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.

Pollak, who also starred in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” said Torn repeatedly brought up his inclusion on former President Richard Nixon’s enemies list.
“If a day also went by without Rip Torn saying, ‘I was on Nixon’s list.’ All right, we got it,” Pollak quipped.
