Steven Hill, who starred for years as District Attorney Adam Schiff on "Law & 
Order" and decades earlier starred as the leader of the Impossible Missions 
Force before Peter Graves on TV's "Mission: Impossible," died Tuesday in 
Monsey, N.Y., his daughter Sarah Gobioff told The New York Times.
 
He was also a top character actor in films of the 1980s and early '90s 
including "Rich and Famous," "Yentl," "Garbo Talks" and Arnold Schwarzenegger 
vehicle "Raw Deal"; "Legal Eagles," in which he would, as in "Law & Order" a 
few years later, play the New York district attorney; "Heartburn"; "Brighton 
Beach Memoirs"; "Running on Empty"; "White Palace"; "Billy Bathgate"; and "The 
Firm."
 
Hill played Schiff from the show's first season in 1990 until 2000, when Hill 
resigned; within the show Schiff was said to have accepted a position 
coordinating commemorations of the Holocaust Project and goes on to work with 
Simon Wiesenthal.
