Quite sure they already announced that a couple of weeks ago.
Steven Hill, who played the leader of the original Mission: Impossible series in 1966 and District Attorney Adam Schiff in Law & Order from 1990 to 2000, has died aged 94.
I was only watching series one episodes of Mission Impossible last night and was shocked to discover Peter Graves hadn’t starred in it from the start. Had to google Steven Hill to find out who he was and the reason why he wasn’t in the series after the first season. I remember watching the odd episode of the original series in the '70s and '80s and always associated Peter Graves as being the team leader. Loved the 1980s revival of the show that was made in Australia. Spotting the Aussie actors in guest roles was always fun.
