Readers of ROT may recall that David was an acting teacher of mine in 1975-77 at Rutgers' School of Fine and Performing Arts (later renamed the Mason Gross School of the Arts). David, who appeared on television as well as in films, died of cancer on Monday, 11 January 2016, at the age of 78. <br /><br />Aside from his recognizable guest shots on many TV series (most prominently, probably, as Tony Soprano's sleazy lawyer) and in featured roles on the large screen, David was a superb character actor on the stage, both on and off Broadway. I always went to see him work whenever he was in something. The Encores! concert presentation of the labor musical, 'The Cradle Will Rock,' reported above, was just one of the many performances I saw between my Rutgers years with him as teacher and director and his untimely death this week. I was immensely proud of having been David's student and his acquaintance. <br /><br />Flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!<br /><br />Sadly,<br />~RickRickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164037407475532693noreply@blogger.com
