Sad news tonight for Fangoria and Starlog readers, as Variety reports that actor Ron Silver has died. The recognizable actor first touched on the horror genre with the 1981 film The Entity, and continued appearing in genre fare steadily for the rest of his career, amassing a list that includes The Wisher, Timecop, The Arrival, Blue Steel, Shadow Zone: The Undead Express, and more.

Silver recently spent much time working in television, with recurring runs on The West Wing, Veronica's Closet, and Chicago Hope.

"Ron Silver died peacefully in his sleep with his family around him early Sunday morning" in New York City, said Robin Bronk, executive director of the Creative Coalition, which Silver helped found. "He had been fighting esophageal cancer for two years."

Ron Silver was 62 years old.
