I saw him pre-election on Larry King one night and I could tell something was seriously wrong with him. Apparently it was esophageal cancer? He barely had a voice last fall, and was clearly wasting away even then.

will always be remembered for BLUE STEEL at the very least, one of the all-time great nutjob performances

But he should be best remembered for his performance as Ron Silver himself in Heat Vision and Jack.

i've been watching the season of the West Wing where he starts showing up and was thinking about how he's really a welcome, underrated presence. RIP.

― FREE DOM AND ETHAN (special guest stars mark bronson), Monday, 16 March 2009 13:58 (sixteen years ago)

truthfully, the last time I thought about this guy was in 2004 when he was one of those 'lifelong democrats' who decided to support bush

? Dershowitz is a bigtime "let's sacrifice our civil liberties to fight terror" jerk.
from NYT obit:
“Ron’s politics, as far as I know, were not shared by anyone he knew, except for the people he knew because of his politics,” [his brother] Mitchell Silver said. He paused and added: “He told me that he did vote for Barack Obama in the end.”
ILX FORGIVES ALL
