NBC Chanel 4 reported that Steven Hill who played Adam Schiff died today he was 94 born in 1922. I loved the way he payed that character

I also remember him from small parts in lots of movies. He also had the role on Thirtysomething, playing the Jewish father of Michael Steadman, fine actor, may he rest in peace.

I remember him way back from Mission Impossible (the TV series, not the film). He's someone who did not age well. I was shocked when I saw him on Law and Order, having not seen him in years; I barely recognized him.

From IMdb:  "Born in Seattle, Washington, in 1922, as Solomon Krakovsky, to Russian Jewish immigrants..."

RIP, Steven Hill.

Editing to add: wow - I never knew why he left Mission Impossible after the first season and was replace by Peter Graves (James Arness' real life brother).   It's here in Wiki, and quite an interesting read!

I always thought he was a great foil to the Jack McCoy character.
