Renowned actor Alan Rachins, known for his roles in various popular ’90s TV shows, has sadly passed away at the age of 82. His death, attributed to heart failure, occurred while he was asleep early Saturday morning, as confirmed by his wife, Joanna Frank.

Rachins’ journey in the entertainment industry began after graduating from Brookline High School and briefly attending the Wharton School at Penn. He then pursued his passion for acting in New York, where he trained under the guidance of acting coach Warren Robertson and renowned actress Kim Stanley. His Broadway debut came in 1967 with the play “After the Rain.”

One of Rachins’ most iconic roles was on the hit TV series “L.A. Law,” where he appeared in 171 episodes over eight seasons. His portrayal earned him a Golden Globe nomination and an Emmy nomination. Interestingly, he shared the screen with his wife, Joanna, playing a couple in constant conflict.

The opportunity to star in “L.A. Law” came through a unique connection, as Rachins’ brother-in-law, the acclaimed TV writer-producer Steven Bochco, envisioned him for the role of Douglas Brackman Jr. in the show. Rachins’ character evolved from a strict office manager to a more flamboyant and colorful personality throughout the series.

In addition to “L.A. Law,” Rachins showcased his talent in various other TV shows like “General Hospital,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The Spectacular Spider-Man,” “Happy Endings,” “The Crazy Ones,” “Young Sheldon,” and “Rugrats.”

Beyond his acting career, Rachins also made significant contributions as a writer, penning episodes for shows such as “Hill Street Blues,” “Hart to Hart,” and “The Fall Guy.” He even took on the role of director for an episode of the CBS series “Paris” in 1980, starring James Earl Jones.
