Tim Dillon shows up in Torching as United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, with him wearing ghoulish makeup to make it seem that he came back from the dead.
For those unaware, Thompson was shot dead in the early morning of December 4 just outside the New York Hilton Midtown Hotel.
His piece revolves around Thompson addressing the public straight from the gates of hell.
Dillon is a stand-up comedian and a podcast host best known for his prominent roles in Joker: Folie a Deux and Thanksgiving. His podcast is titled The Tim Dillon Show.
Hannah Berner

Another comedian who appears in Torching is Hannah Berner.
Berner made headlines after Torching premiered due to her insensitive joke about Blake Lively. She poked fun at the actress by saying, "The word 'c--t' was trending this year. I don't think Blake Lively was that bad."
This comes after Lively's legal complaint against It Ends with Us co-star Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and coordinating an online smear campaign to damage her reputation.
In a now-expired Instagram story, Berner addressed her ill-timed joke about Lively, clarifying that the roast was filmed before news of the complaint surfaced online while also stating her support for the actress:
"My joke in the Netflix roast was filmed before news of the [complaint]. To be 100 percent clear, I support Blake xoxo."
Some of Berner's best work includes a comedy special titled We Ride at Dawn and her podcasts: Berner Phone and Giggly Squad.
