Born on July 15, 1928, in Kansas City, Missouri, Troupe began acting in local theatre productions before moving to New York City in the 1940s. He studied acting under Uta Hagen at the Herbert Berghof Studio. Troupe also served in the Korean War and was awarded a Bronze Star for his efforts.

'Jurassic World: Rebirth' climbs to top of North American box office
Jurassic World: Rebirth — the latest instalment in the blockbuster dinosaur saga — stomped the July 4th weekend competition at the North American box office, raking in a whopping $91.5 million (Dh336.08 million) in its debut, industry estimates showed. The Universal film, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, takes viewers to an abandoned island research facility for the original Jurassic Park theme park, where secrets — and genetically mutated dinosaurs — are lurking. "This is an excellent opening for the 7th episode of an action-adventure monster series," said analyst David A Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. "The series has been especially good overseas and so far foreign business is outstanding. Dinosaur action is understood in all languages and across all cultures." F1: The Movie, the Apple and Warner Bros. flick starring Brad Pitt as a washed-up Formula One driver who gets one last shot at redemption, slipped to second place at $26.1 million, Exhibitor Relations said. How to Train Your Dragon, Universal and DreamWorks Animation's live-action reboot of the popular 2010 film, held in third place at $11 million. The family-friendly film tells the story of a Viking named Hiccup (Mason Thames) who strikes up a friendship with Toothless the dragon. In fourth place was Disney/Pixar Animation's latest original film Elio, at $5.7 million in the United States and Canada. Elio tells the story of a young boy who is mistaken by aliens as an intergalactic ambassador for Earth. The voice cast includes Oscar winner Zoe Saldana. In fifth place was Columbia Pictures' zombie sequel 28 Years Later, which took in $4.6 million. The Danny Boyle-directed threequel picks up — as the title suggests — more than a generation after the initial outbreak of the Rage Virus. Rounding out the top 10 were:

Junoon: The Arabic word for madness and obsession - not to mention anger and irrationality
The seventh-century Arabic poet Qays ibn al-Mulawwah is said to have been deeply in love with a woman named Layla. He wrote to her and about her constantly, so much so that after his death, he was referred to as Majnun Layla, which translates to 'the one mad about Layla'. The 12th-century Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi immortalised their tale with his poem titled Majnun Layla. Despite their deep affection, societal pressures and family opposition keep them apart. Layla is married off to another man, while Majnun retreats to the wilderness, composing verses in her memory. Their love, pure, yet tragic, symbolises the agony of longing and the spiritual depth of true devotion. It's often called the "Romeo and Juliet" of the East. Majnoon (or majnun) comes from the word junoon, which is the Arabic word of the week. Junoon means madness and obsession, it can also convey anger and irrationality. Much like al-Mulawwah, a madman is a majnun and the plural is majaneen. Junoon is also used in the context of losing focus and concentration. If a person does something illogical and out of character, an immediate response might be 'inta janait?' which means "have you gone mad"? One idiom that uses the word is 'al junoon funoon', which translates to 'the art of madness'. It's used when seemingly random things coalesce to create something that is beautiful together. Junoon is also the Arabic word used for the faint buzzing sound a fly makes. The word is also found in other languages – it has the same meaning in Hindi and Urdu. It is also the title of the 2015 collaboration album Junun by English composer Jonny Greenwood, Israeli composer Shye Ben Tzur and the Indian ensemble, the Rajasthan Express. Junoon can also be used to express delusions of grandeur disorder, junoon al athama. Delusions of grandeur are false beliefs in one's extraordinary importance, talent or identity.
