(Actor)
.. DA Adam Schiff
Born:
February 24, 1922
in
Seattle
Best Known For:
The 1960s TV series Mission: Impossible.
Early-life:
Born Solomon Krakovsky on February 24, 1922, to Jewish parents in Seattle. An early interest in acting was sparked by his sister's entry in a talent contest, but he was unable to pursue this passion until completing his education and serving four years in the Naval Reserve during the Second World War. When the conflict ended, he left the armed forces and decided to follow his dream, auditioning for countless stage roles. His first professional part was in 1946's Ben Hecht's A Flag Is Born.
Career:
Hill made his big-screen debut in 1950 alongside screen siren Hedy Lamarr in A Lady Without Passport. Following another two years in the Navy, he returned to acting and forged a successful career. Further stage work garnered huge acclaim, but it was film and TV work that made him a familiar face. While involved in the play A Far Country in 1961, he re-evaluated his faith and was prompted to explore his religion. In 1966 he landed the part of team leader Daniel Briggs in Mission: Impossible, but left in 1967, allegedly due to the shooting schedules requiring him to work on Saturdays, the Jewish Sabbath. After a decade out of the limelight, he returned to the industry in the late 1970s and has worked consistently since. In recent years, he impressed a new generation of fans as District Attorney Adam Schiff in Law & Order, a part he played for 10 years between 1990 and 2000.
