Da Silva's characterization of historic figures are among some of his most notable work: he was Lincoln's brawling friend Jack Armstrong in both play (1939) and film (1940) versions of ''Abe Lincoln in Illinois'' written by Robert Sherwood; Benjamin Franklin in the 1969–1972 stage musical ''1776'' and a reprisal of the role for the 1972 film version of the production; Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in ''The Missiles of October'' (1974); Franklin D. Roosevelt in ''The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover'' (1977); and Louis B. Mayer in ''Mommie Dearest'' (1981).
Da Silva's American television character work included the defense attorney representing the robot in ''The Outer Limits'' episode "I, Robot" (1964), and district attorney Anthony Cleese in ''For the People'' (1965). For his performance as Eddie in the ''Great Performances'' production of ''Verna: USO Girl'' (1978), the actor received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actor in a Comedy or Drama Special.
