It was in this capacity, that a friend of his, which happened to be a casting director, got him interested to do some stunt work on a number of Hollywood productions. On the set of the movie "Cowboy Up" he ended up rehearsing opposite Daryl Hannah as her scene partner's stand in double and she subsequently asked him how long he had been acting in film, Silvio looked demonstratively at his wrist watch with a grin on his face. Miss Hannah raised her eyebrows in surprise and stated, that he had enormous talent and huge presence and should definitely pursue this in earnest. The seed was planted and soon Silvio was cast in lead and supporting roles in Hollywood and Independent productions.
