TMZ has learned that just an hour ago, actor Rip Torn was arrested in North Salem, New York and charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI).

We're told Torn, who is 75-years-old, refused to cooperate with the cops and would not submit to a blood-alcohol test.

Torn, who has starred in numerous movies including "Men in Black" and "Dodgeball," was arrested after his car was involved in an accident and police were called. At the time of publication, Torn is still in police custody.

In January, 2004, Torn was arrested in New York City after crashing his car into a taxi and charged with DWI. Even though Torn lauchned into an epic and vulgar rant at the police station, the actor was found not guilty. His lawyers were Judge Judy's two sons.

Why was he first famous? I can recall him when I was 5 years old, that's in the late 60's

He was in a production of "Camino Real". His delivery was terrible, you could hear him speak, but his lines were clearly slurred or something.

Even the unknown actors there were more enjoyable than Rip Torn.
