My client and friend, the actor David Killick, who has died aged 86, was a stalwart of British theatre and television for more than 60 years. He had a long association with the Royal Shakespeare Company (1985-2003), where roles of increasing stature came his way, including Cominius in Coriolanus, Duke of York in Richard II, Stanley in Richard III, and Archbishop Scrope in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2.
Among Adler's acting credits are The Sopranos, on which he played Tony Soprano adviser Hesh Rabkin across all six seasons, and The Good Wife, where he played law partner Howard Lyman. But before Adler had ever stepped in front of a film or television camera, he had 53 Broadway productions to his name all behind the scenes, serving as a stage manager, producer or director.
