He Has Gone to His Father: The Big District Attorney in the Sky
It would be a cruel world indeed if the passing of Ron Silver were to go by without at least some comment from OTI.
So, let us just say that we love Mr. Silver, we especially loved him in Timecop, and we will miss him.
And that I hope* that he finds greater forgiveness and salvation than Skin did, when he meets the big District Attorney in the Sky.
* I cannot ascribe this hope to all OTIers, because some OTIers do not hold out hope for a hereafter, which, regardless of its philosophical merit, is pretty unkind to Ron Silver.

Trevor Seigler on Thu, 19th Mar 2009 9:02 amMy impression of Mr. Silver (apart from Timecop) comes from the movie he did with Jamie Lee Curtis where she’s a rookie policewoman and he’s the psycho obsessed with shooting her (because to cast Ron Silver as anything else…that’s just wrong).
God speed, Mr. Silver

Thanks!!! I was trying to remember where that was from! For some reason, I thought he did that in an episode of _Robot Chicken_, but quick googling confirmed that was not the case.
But yeah, that is definitely obit-worthy.
