I met Ron Silver in Auckland, New Zealand when he came to train in Latin percussion, he was a great guy, friendly, cheerful, a very nice guy with whom I shared fun moments and good conversation. I am so happy to have met him, such a Hollywood figure, I feel priviledge, and I was so shocked and sad to learn that he has died. My good friend Ron, rest in peace, the world has lost a great guy!
Ron Silver, rest his soul, was a great actor, but I have to admit, I think he was a right fool to support President Bush after all that mess, and even take part in making "Fahrenhype 9/11" to criticise Michael Moore.
Jesus, I never actually saw him post cancer treatment. The poor bastard. Without his hair and beard i didn't recognize him and the poor bloke looks so frail. I'm glad he can rest in peace. And really does his Youtube videos have to be a place of such nasty, pointless political ravings? The man changed his beliefs, liberals get over it. He wasn't denied acting jobs and he continued working regularly, so conservatives stop trying to beat that false drum. Both sides should just STFU about it.
I had seen this interview a few months ago. It seems all the more poignant now.
He was so articulate and intelligence. I can't think of too many celebrities who could hold my interest like Ron Silver could. He will be missed very much.
Very articulate, intelligent commentary. Incredibly well informed. I do not share his stances on policies, but I could listen to him all day and enjoy the discussion.
He's seems to have a very mature, very rational foundation, and I am a huge fan of respectful discourse.
The world needs more men like this, imo.
I'm very glad to see this clip. In the US I was not aware of this interview. Thank you to the uploader and to YouTube.
Come on guys...seriously, can't you all just say something nice? I met Ron several times throughout my acting career and he was always a gentleman. Rest well Mr. Silver...thanks for sharing your talent and your being a voice for the arts!
OMG; Ron Silver passed away? This is the 1st I learned of it. A great loss to the acting profession. A very talented and exceptionally intelligent human being we lost. May he RIP. And condolences to all that love him. PEACE.
Haha... one day it will be your turn to "turn blue" and you'll stop using up precious oxygen... and polluting the world with your drivel and exhaled marijuana smoke. That day will not arrive...... soon enough.
ahhahaha mozartgenetics u sure are another copy cat liberal idiot. u think 9/11 was done by our government u are insane and stupid. all you liberals are so phobic of the whole patriot act issue.... it just makes me laugh... not for one moment did i ever think that would affect me and it hasn't. it has nothing to do with the general populations' civil liberties, it just has to do with treacherous liberal pos people who are doing illegal and seditious things who are concerned about it.
I hate it that Silver died but I hated "The West Wing" and many of Silver's political views were skewed. He supported Bush in the war effort. He was also a CFR member.
It looks like the line that divides people is how you interpret 9/11. People who think 9/11 was actually done by terrorists support the war and people who think 9/11 was orchestrated by our government to subvert our liberties are against it.
Bush and Cheney are criminals. 9/11 was a tool to destroy our constitution.
9/11 is not the deviding line because Democrats that supported the Iraq war have turned against it. However, everyone seems to support the Afganistan war.
What? It's liberals who wish to destroy our Constitution. Whenever they don't get their way, they're the FIRST to cry out for an overhauling of the Constitution. I like my guns, I hate criminals and really despise foreigners coming to the US not learning English. WE were attacked on Sept 11, not our enemies.
9/11 was just a sales pitch to undermine our sovereignty. The pre-9/11 America wouldn't have tolerated an American gestapo called the Department of Homeland Security. The pre-9/11 America would not have allowed the Patriot Act, FISA, the Real ID Act, the Homegrown Terrorist Act, and an illegal was that killed thousands of our people. 9/11 was staged to remove our bill of rights and our sovereignty and sadly enough people have bought it.......it is working. Wake up America!
Hey, it was our own government that brought those towers down. The government depends on ignoramises, which is our usual public, to believe otherwise. Study the tapes on YouTube. My son went into a 2-month depression when he realized how duped the US is. All to start a war. I personally believe that Bush cut a deal with Obama, hence, the reason they could not find him. He was being protected. God, Americans are so gullible.
"bludcrimson" Is there any reason for your comments? We've lost a giant talent, someone who genuinely cares about America's direction. What do you gain by your attitude? How pathetic.
Ron found out early on that the so called "liberals" in the Democrat party were nothing but low life Neo Marxist scumbags! That makes him light years smarter than you asshole!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Zipp, so 70% of Americans think that the war in Iraq was a mistake, and you are over there still sucking off Bush. Get a life you Bush Blowing Neo-Con chickenhawk loser.
Romes944, Obama just entered office. Ron "Chickenhawk" Silver was supporting the Iraq War even after it was proven that there were no WMDs. Ron is a braver man with my generation than he was when he was young and avoided Vietnam.
Ron Silver has beena favorite of mine for yrs..Loved his bad side in Time Cop..WHAT is wrong with him now?? He looks so old. He didn't look like this just 2 yrs ago..he ahs to be sick...
Yes silver is a longtime hardline zionist. Like many Neoconservatives he's hard right on issues jewish. Mainly in the middle east with Israel. Also he's hard left on domestic issues in America. He sides with the gay marriage crowd, open borders, and increased multiculturism. I suspect he's against multiculturism for Israel though. Because we ALL know Israel must be a JEWISH STATE right?
9/11 was an inside job, it's all part of the new world order's agenda. Watch The Alex Jones Show on infowars(dot)com
