Ron Silver

Actor Ron Silver has died at age 62. Silver won a Tony for Speed The Plow and his most memorable film roles were as Alan Dershowitz in Reversal of Fortune and a man juggling three women in Enemies: A Love Story (a movie I need to search out again). In recent years Silver was probably best known for his role on The West Wing and for jumping the ideological fence to support the Iraq War. (EW)

UPDATE - I'd forgotten Silver was trainer Angelo Dundee in Michael Mann's Ali. Thanks to In Contention for the reminder.

God bless Ron Silver, he was a so-called 'Liberal' who AT LEAST came to his senses about Jihadis and brutal Dictators. He knew they would destroy America, and Hollywood if they could. He realized that if America goes down the tubes, then the whole planet is doomed.

You were great Ron! Time Cop, Arrival, Wiseguy, and The West Wing among many were particularly good. Thank you for everything, especially your courage, RIP.

here's an absurd thought -
our Supreme GOD
hates ALL Liberals

who admit their errors
and move Right on defense

.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe hates
the principles of FREEDOM

fascism comes from the Right
that is a lie of the Left

.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
YOU'RE RIGHT WING

because you hate dictators
and don't blame America

All real freedom starts with freedom of speech. Without freedom of speech there can be no real freedom.
