Cast

This change left District Attorney Adam Schiff (played by Steven Hill) as the only remaining member of the series' cast from the first season. Hill was not an original member of the cast, as his character replaced District Attorney Alfred Wentworth (played by Roy Thinnes) from the original pilot, "Everyone's Favorite Bagman".
