Old-time actor Henry Sliva, born back in East Harlem, NY, just died out in California.
The 95-year old iconic actor's career spanned a half-century in a wide variety of films. But he was most noted for his many memorable roles as a gangster, hoodlum, enforcer, and all around tough guy. Silva was a close buddy of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and others of their ilk.
I personally liked him as an actor very much. One of the last of a dying breed.

To name just a few of the TV shows and movies he's acted through the years are the following;
Ocean's Eleven Ghost Dog Above the Law The Manchurian Candidate The Outsider Step Brothers The Boss Justice The New Batman Adventures The End of Violence Superman The Harvest Sharky's Machine Sound Beach Dick Tracy Trained to Kill Cannonball Run II Chained Heat Day of the Assassin The Italian Connection etc., etc., etc....
But Silva's movie credit date all the way back to at least 1952;
Johnny Cool The Return of Mr. Moto The Tall T Alfred Hitchcock Buck Rogers Ride a Crooked Trail The Bravados Cry of the Prostitute The Mice The Law and Jake Wade Cinderfella The Untouchables
For those of you who were unfamiliar with Sliva, now that you know his name and face I bet you'll recognize him in many many shows you watch in the future.
He was a very accomplished "character actor" who specialized in playing "tough guy" and hoodlum roles.
. The the Manchurian Candidate he was memorable in for sure Yes, most definitely
