who played daniel briggs in mission impossible?
<answer> Steven Hill played daniel briggs in mission impossible. <context> Poof! The tape went up in smoke! However much or little people may recall of Mission:Impossible, no one could forget the tension packed opening augmented by Lalo Schifrin’s jazzy theme music. In the first season, it was “your mission, Dan” as Steven Hill (real name, Solomon Krakovsky) played Daniel Briggs, leader of the Impossible Mission Force. Reportedly, Hill’s contract restrictions which limited the days and hours he would work in order for the Orthodox Jew to strictly observe his religion became a problem.
