António Maria da Silva (March 3, 1886 – August 15, 1971) was a Portuguese actor. He accumulated over 40 credits over his more than 50 years in acting.
António Silva was born to a humble family, one of many sons and daughters of Francisco Constantino Augusto da Silva (born December 19, 1849, Lisbon, Socorro), a frame gilder in Lisbon, who married Amélia das Dores (July 4, 1853, Lisbon, Lumiar, – April 4, 1936, Lisbon, São Jorge de Arroios). The family lived at Rua do Jasmim nr. 5.
António was an employee at a drugstore, a cashier and a fireman, where he became a commander, before he became an actor.
He studied a commercial course and attended several amateur stage groups. His first appearance as an actor was in 1910, in the play "O Novo Cristo", by Tolstoy, that the Alves da Silva company produced at the Teatro da Rua dos Condes. With success, he received a contract, appearing in other small roles in plays such as "O Conde de Monte Cristo" or "O Rei Maldito".
Between 1913 and 1921, he travelled with the António de Sousa company across Brazil, where he starred in Brazilian silent films such as Convém Martelar and Coração de Gaúcho in 1920, and in the same year he married Josefina Barco.
