That scene made NO sense in this movie.prospeCt said:
I never met Mark Eaton, but a few years back our local parks and recreation department hired a guy that was 7' 5" and about 375 pounds (overweight). I saw him grocery shopping several times and it was one of the more amazing things I've ever seen. As a Game of Thrones fan, it was like meeting The Mountain in the canned soup aisle. He couldn't go more than 30 seconds without someone gawking or making a comment about his height. I didn't because I figured the poor guy would prefer to be left alone. I imagine that was how life was for Mark Eaton. I guess you get used to it, but I expect it gets old real fast.dimitrig said:bearister said:

Rip Torn, cult actor and Artie in the Larry Sanders Show dies aged 88
https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2019/jul/10/rip-torn-cult-actor-dies-aged-88?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Rip Torn brought Da Ruckus to Norman Mailer and Dennis Hopper:
" During the filming of Norman Mailer's film Maidstone, a largely improvised production made at the height of the late-60s counterculture, Torn played Mailer's brother, and attacked Mailer for real, hitting him over the head with a hammer and then attempting to strangle him. Mailer responded by biting Torn's ear.
Torn's reputation for irascibility had already been established inside the industry after a row with Dennis Hopper during the pre-production of Easy Rider, the seminal 1969 counterculture biker movie, that led to Torn being replaced by Jack Nicholson before shooting began. The incident became more widely known after Hopper claimed on a TV talkshow in 1994 that Torn had pulled a knife on him; Torn subsequently sued, claiming that Hopper had in fact pulled the knife on him. The court found in Torn's favour, and awarded him $475,000 in damages."
