It is called a role, or a part. In films, the word part is used. The general term for the dialogue and stage actions for a play is script.

Is the play written by Shakespeare Hamlet a silent play?

No. Most of the characters in the play have speaking parts, although there are Lords, guardsmen and others mentioned in the stage directions who do not speak. However, as part of the play-within-a-play, Shakespeare wrote a prologue to the play called a "dumb-show" which is in fact a "silent play"--the actors do not speak. So in that sense a part of Hamlet is indeed a silent play.
