Sid Silvers (January 16, 1901 in Brooklyn, New York – August 20, 1976 in Brooklyn) was an American actor, comedian, lyricist, and writer.Silvers began his career in vaudeville in the early 1920s as a comedy partner of Phil Baker. As part of their act, Silvers would heckle Baker from the audience. The Baker/Silvers act was later used as the basis for the 1951 Martin and Lewis film ''The Stooge''. The duo continued to perform together up through 1928.
In 1925 Silvers made his Broadway debut in the review ''Artists and Models''. He also appeared in the review ''A Night in Spain'' in 1927 and contributed lyrics to the musicals ''The Song Writer'' (1928) and ''Pleasure Bound'' (1929).

He later wrote the music and lyrics to the review ''New Faces of 1936''.
Silvers made his film debut in the 1929 feature ''The Show of Shows'' and then went on to play supporting roles in such films as ''Dancing Sweeties'' (1930), ''Bottoms Up'' (1934), ''Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round'' (1934), ''Born to Dance'' (1936), and ''Broadway Melody of 1936'', notably also serving as a scriptwriter on the latter two films. He often contributed special comedy material to some of the larger MGM productions, including ''The Wizard of Oz'' in 1939.
In the 1940s Silvers was mainly active as a performer on the stage and on radio. He made his final film appearance in 1946, playing a featured comic role in ''Mr. Ace''. In the 1950s, he was a writer for ''The Mickey Rooney Show''. Provided by Wikipedia
