lol~ I would bet it was Silver's role as Dershowitz that started it for me!

Anyone know Dershowitzs' position on Iraq, WOT?

One of his better roles was Chicago Hope, although the shark had jumped out of the water by the time his role got any traction.

But he and Patinkin had a scene where a clash over some sort of palace intrigue culminated with a face-to-face, inches-apart, by-the-dozens throwdown in a crowded waiting room, where Kelley employed a circling camera motion to great effect.

You instinctively knew the argument would be lost by the first person to push the other -- and sure enough, after a glorious full minute, Silver's character finally issued the shove; Patinkin gleefully pounced -- "You lose!" -- even though Patinkin's character was on the wrong side of the argument.
