A sad loss to the acting community.
Probably his most recent memorable role was as an election strategist for President Bartlett [Martin Sheen] in The West Wing.
And Arnold Vinick.
Funny how they made his character's changing politics mirror his own in real life.

One of thos actors that you see alot of but don't pay much attention.
3 time Emmy nominee, speaks volumes for his ability.
Not only on Movie or TV either. Ron Silver has won a Tony Award for best actor for his theatre career also I believe.

That's a shame. I haven't seen much of his work except for the West Wing, but he was excellent in that role.
RIP Ron.

Wow, he changed his look a bit in 5 years. Still, he looked like a 30 year old at 57 :eek:
RIP, a good journeyman of entertainment.
