He died on the 14th. (The NY Times said most sources claim he was born on Sept. 15, 1928, but the real year was 1926.)

He was in both versions of "Ocean's Eleven" as well.

From "The Illustrated Who's Who of the Cinema" (1983):

"With his bright, empty eyes and sharp high cheekbones, Henry Silva has for decades been among the screen's most convincing villains.

"...was most especially frightening as a dope-addicted assassin in Sharky's Machine."

First paragraphs::

Henry Silva, an actor with a striking look who often played villains and had credits in hundreds of films including “Ocean’s Eleven” and “The Manchurian Candidate,” died of natural causes Wednesday at the Motion Picture Picture and Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, Calif., his son Scott confirmed. He was 95.

One of Silva’s most memorable roles came in John Frankenheimer’s classic thriller “The Manchurian Candidate” (1962), in which he played Chunjin, the Korean houseboy for Laurence Harvey’s Raymond Shaw — and an agent for the Communists — who engages in a thrilling, well-choreographed martial arts battle with Frank Sinatra’s Major Bennett Marco in Shaw’s New York apartment.

Silva appeared in a number of other movies with Sinatra, including the original, Rat Pack-populated “Ocean’s Eleven” (1960) with Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., where he was one of the 11 thieves, and 1962 Western “Sergeants 3.”

His death was first reported by Dean Martin’s daughter Deana Martin, who wrote on Twitter, “Our hearts are broken at the loss of our dear friend Henry Silva, one of the nicest, kindest and most talented men I’ve had the pleasure of calling my friend. He was the last surviving star of the original Oceans 11 Movie. We love you Henry, you will be missed.”

In later years, he appeared in Burt Reynolds vehicle “Sharky’s Machine” (1981), the Chuck Norris movie “Code of Silence” (1985), Steven Seagal movie “Above the Law” (1988), Warren Beatty’s “Dick Tracy” (1990) and Jim Jarmusch’s “Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai” (1999); Silva’s final screen appearance was a cameo in the “Ocean’s Eleven” remake in 2001.

A 1985 article by Knight-Ridder journalist Diane Haithman headlined “Henry Silva: The Actor You Love to Hate” began this way: “His face looms on screen. A face with sharp, high cheekbones and a blunt, tiny nose, a face that looks like it was cut out of steel and always is behind a gun. And eyes that see only the next victim. Cold eyes. The eyes of a psychopath. He doesn’t have to say a thing before you know you hate him. … Silva has made a lifelong career with that face (which, by the way, looks fatherly off-camera).”...

Shouldn't that be,
"our dear friend Henry Silva, one of the kindest, bravest, warmest,
most wonderful human beings we've ever known in our lives".

LOL

I really liked his hosting, I guess you'd call it, of "Bullshit or
Not," one of the segments in Amazon Women on the Moon.

Did someone look at his birth certificate? It's been reported
inconsistently for years.

As it happens, I just rewatched The Manchurian Candidate the other day.
That was supposed to be the first judo fight ever performed for a movie.

He was terrific and was cast in a variety of roles playing villains of
various ethnicities.

I also recently watched Johnny Cool (1963), the rare movie that he
starred in.

The Return of Mr. Moto (1965), in which Silva played the title
character (a detective), was intended to kick off a new set of Moto
movies. (Peter Lorre had played Moto in the original series.)

There's an implied false assertion in Deana Martin's statement:

While Angie Dickinson was certainly neither one of the titular "11" (in what I argue is the third-ranked* finest Sinatra film), nor one of the plot's principals characters, she nonetheless by most standards in 1960 was already a Hollywood star, and (and unlike her justly-celebrated fellow native-North Dakotans Eric Sevareid, Lawrence Welk and Bobby Vee), still survives today, at 90.

As for the late Silva: in a terrific (if in places rather preposterously-scripted) film where "cool" was ALREADY defined by Sinatra, Martin, Davis, Lawford and Cesar Romero, the skilled, strapping Silva STILL held his own among two (or three or four, depending how you count) downright showbiz legends with his characteristic deliberate but understated acting style in a supporting role that left me wishing his character was allotted more lines.
