Rest in Peace: Ron Silver
March 16th, 2009
Yet another wonderful character actor has left us way before his time. Ron Silver has passed away at age 62.
The New York Post reported the sad news today.
"Ron Silver died peacefully in his sleep with his family around him this morning. He had been fighting esophageal cancer for two years and his family is making arrangements for a private service." said Robin Bronk, executive director of the Creative Coalition, which Silver helped create.
Genre fans will remember Silver for his roles in The Entity, The Arrival, Shadow Zone, and Timecop.
We here at Dread Central would like to take this time to offer our sincerest condolences to Ron's family, friends, and constituents. Thanks for the memories.

Raimi Once Again Talks Remake & Evil Dead 4It happens every so often, ya know? Every time Raimi has a movie coming out during interviews he's inevitably asked The Questions. Will there be an Evil Dead remake and when are we gonna get an Evil Dead 4? Hot on the heels of promoting his stellar new film Drag Me to Hell, Raimi threw us yet another bone.
I'm such a big fan of his - even after he did an about-face and changed his politics so drastically. The world is a much sadder place today. RIP, Ron.
