Ron Silver's Birth Card: The King of Diamonds
The Wealthy King
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Tony Award.
In the record
Ronald Arthur Silver (July 2, 1946 – March 15, 2009) was an American actor. The birth-card coordinate for July 2 is the King of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1988 Best Actor in a Play (Speed-the-Plow) win.

The King of Diamonds coordinate
Ron Silver's birthday maps to the King of Diamonds (The Wealthy King). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Tony Award and not a verdict on Ron Silver. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You run the system and you can show your work.
Ron Silver in the public record
He portrayed Henry Kissinger, Alan Dershowitz and Angelo Dundee. He was awarded the 1988 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for Speed-the-Plow, a satirical dissection of the American movie business, and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for his recurring role as political strategist Bruno Gianelli in The West Wing. Silver was born on July 2, 1946, in Manhattan, the son of May (née Zimelman), a substitute teacher, and Irving Roy Silver, a clothing sales executive. Silver was raised Jewish on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and attended Stuyvesant High School. Silver went on to graduate from the State University of New York at Buffalo, with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Chinese, and earned a master's degree in Chinese History from St. John's University in New York and the Chinese Culture University in Taiwan.

Where the record meets the King of Diamonds
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Ron Silver, and not a forecast of a Tony.
