Actor and longtime political activist Ron Silver died this morning, succumbing to a long battle with cancer, friends of the liberal Democrat-turned-GOP stalwart told The Post.
"Ron Silver died peacefully in his sleep with his family around him this morning," said Robin Bronk, executive director of the Creative Coalition, which Silver helped create.
"He had been fighting esophageal cancer for two years and his family is making arrangements for a private service."
Friends of Silver first told Post columnist Cindy Adams of the native New Yorker's death.
The steely-eyed, blunt-talking Silver, 62, enjoyed a long career on the stage, TV and in movies, and most recently hosted a public affairs talk show on Sirius satellite radio.

No kidding. I’m going to go look. I’ll post it if I see one.
This is sad. I had no idea. Esophageal cancer is what took my own dad ten years ago.

What a shame. Horrible, horrible news as Silver was one of the last true men of principle in Hollywood. It’s not that he had a “conservative” conversion; the Democrat party that he grew up in left him. And, to his credit, he didn’t participate in the group think of the Hollywood lemmings. He’ll be missed.
