Henry Silva Career

 Henry Silva was in more than 1,000 movies and TV shows and often played tough guys who were easy to remember. In Johnny Cool (1963), he was an assassin. In A Hatful of Rain (1957), he was a drug dealer. In Above the Law, he was a crooked CIA agent (1988).

The actor also worked with Frank Sinatra and other Rat Pack members like Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford in a number of movies, such as Ocean’s Eleven (1960), The Manchurian Candidate (1962), and Sergeants 3 (1964). (1962).

Silva told the Chicago Tribune in 2000, “I see a lot of actors who play bad guys, but they always play the same bad guys.” He talked about how long he had played Hollywood’s bad guys. “I have a seven-minute reel of scenes from my movies, and none of the guys are the same. Because that would be boring, I don’t always go to the same place. When I look at the page, I can see who the character is. I don’t put myself on the page—I let it affect me—but I don’t stay out of trouble either.”

After hearing about Silva’s death, Martin’s daughter Deana Martin paid tribute to him on Twitter. “Our hearts are broken by the loss of our dear friend Henry Silva.
