Outstanding veteran Broadway, motion picture and television actor Steven Hill portrays the battle weary no-nonsense D.A. Adam Schiff in Universal Television's award-winning one hour crime/drama series LAW & ORDER for NBC. A tenacious career prosecutor and former advisor to Presidents, Schiff now presides over Assistant District Attorneys McCoy (Sam Waterston) and Ross (Carey Lowell) with "the buck stops here" work ethic.

Hill has given critically acclaimed performances in films, television and on Broadway. His feature films include "The Firm," "Eyewitness," "Rich and Famous," "Brighton Beach Memoirs," "Yentl," "On Valentine's Day," "Heartburn," "Raw Deal," "It's My Turn," "The Boost," "Teachers," "Garbo Talks," "Running on Empty" and "Billy Bathgate."
