'Sopranos' actor Jerry Adler dies at 96 Adler spent the majority of his career behind the scenes of some of Broadway's most iconic shows, not stepping forward to act until he was in his 60s.

I put Jerry Adler in all my plays -- audiences loved him and he got laughs on every line.
I joked to him, "You worked with Woody Allen and Larry David. You happy to be working with a GOOD writer?"
He said, "I'm happy to be working with a SANE writer!"
