Actor Ron Silver dies in NY at era 62 after cancer fight; played strategist on 'The West Wing' Read.




He continued his recurring lines on "The West Wing," joking that he faced some taunting over his views from co-workers on the show which took chore in a impetuously reformist White House administration. "Often when I walked onto the set of 'The West Wing' some of my colleagues would address me with a chanting of 'Ron, Ron, the neo-con.' It was all done in mirth but it had an edge," Silver wrote in a Nov. 15, 2007, record of his blog on the Pajamas Media Web site.



Silver's on-screen mould rankled liberals, too. He narrated 2004's "Fahrenhype 9/11," a deconstruction of Michael Moore's Bush-bashing hit documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11." "Michael Moore and that lobby of the bacchanalia was one of the factors that did not let me assist the Democratic candidate this year," Silver told the AP in 2004. "He is a charlatan in a jerk suit.






" Born July 2, 1946, in New York City, he was the son of Irving and May Silver. His founder worked in New York's garment dynamism and his dam was a teacher. Earning a bachelor's lengths from the State University of New York at Buffalo and a master's condition in Chinese intelligence from St. John's University, Silver well-thought-out play at the Herbert Berghof Studio and the Actors Studio.



In the 1970s, he slowly moved from theater fashion in New York City into video and film. His anciently credits included "The Mac Davis Show," "Rhoda" and "The Stockard Channing Show." Silver and ex-wife Lynne Miller had a son, Adam, and daughter, Alexandra.
