And the libs still complain about the Hollywood Blacklist of the 50's?
I hear he takes some consolation from Ann Coulter.
There have been two versions, one made in 1954 in the UK, and another for US TV in 1999, with the voices of Kelsey Grammer and others for the animals.
He did a movie with Jamie Lee Curtis that was pretty good, can't remember the name.
Ron is a true patriot.
As much as I admire Ron Silver for his courage in standing up to the far-left losers in Hollyweird, there is no way I will ever watch "The West Wing" or, as it is known in this household, "The Worst Wing." So Martin Sheen will go off into the sunset and probably be replaced by Alan Alda. That's just swapping one moonbat for another.
Besides, there is more to life than sitting in front of the dinosaur network idiot box.
He's that tall!
Silver has used his brain. Let's support him in his endeavors. He was so thrilled when Clinton was elected. That is a lot of change.
Hard to believe that this guy once played Alan Dershowitless in a movie.
You know, given the guy they got playing Lex Luthor's father on "Smallville", they could bring Silver on as, say, an uncle.
I doubt it.
A show for liberals, by liberals, and made for liberals isn't going to have a republican president (even if it is played by Alan Alda).
That said, he has dropped hints that he isn't giving up his movie career for TV.
I think at one point Ron Silver almost took a different turn in his career. After getting his masters degree (mind you much of Hollyweird these days barely got through high school), Ron could well have not gone back to Hollywood, but to Langley instead.
Silver came out admantly supporting Bush's re-election. He was and probably still is very liberal on social issues (pro-abort, gay marriage, expanding health care) but in the key moment (2004 election) he made those second priority to supporting a more aggressive war on terrorism and strengthening national defense.

I'd hope that eventually he'd come around on the social and human life issues but for just now glad he supports Bush.
The best show he was ever in was "Heat Vision and Jack"
I think he's a liberal that backs the war.
From the article: Or, as someone who also believes in gay rights, healthcare and the right to choose, he would rather just dispense with labels altogether.
And what jprinciple of behavior or politics would allow so out spoken a progressive to become a 'republican'? I am glad that I am a conservative.
Ping for later. I'll be glad to buy this.
He made a heck of a bad guy in timecop.
"Blue Steel," pretty good flick.
