My Take
Ron Silver is the kind of actor I'd call a craftsman's craftsman. Winning the 1988 Tony for "Speed-the-Plow" in a savage takedown of Hollywood is the sort of credit that earns my lasting respect, and I love that he played figures as varied as Henry Kissinger and Alan Dershowitz. He was clearly a New York intellectual at heart, sharp and politically engaged, even controversial. That edge is what I remember. Losing him in 2009 at only 62 felt early. For me he belongs to that breed of character actor who never headlined the marquee but quietly made every project he touched smarter.
