Adrian Schiller has died at the age of 60.
The actor was best known for his role as Aethelhelm in the hit Netflix series ‘The Last Kingdom’ and had a television career that spanned more than 30 years but it was announced by his agent on Thursday (04.04.24) that he had passed away.
In a statement, Scott Marshall Partners, said: “He has died far too soon, and we, his family and close friends are devastated by the loss.
“His death was sudden and unexpected and no further details around its cause are yet available.”
In the historical drama, Adrian starred as the antagonistic ruler who has ambitions for his grandson Aelfweard but the character ended up taking his own life at the end of the fifth series.
The TV star had also made appearances in ‘Doctor Who’, ‘Victoria’ and starred alongside ‘Harry Potter’ actress Emma Watson in the Disney live-action version of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ in 2017, but also had enjoyed an illustrious career on the stage.
Just prior to his death, Adrian had been starring in an international tour of three-hour play ‘The Lehman Trilogy’ and his agents concluded their statement by hailing him as a “prodigiously talented” performer.
They added: “A prodigiously talented actor, he had just returned from Sydney, where he had been appearing in ‘The Lehman Trilogy’ and was looking forward to continuing the international tour in San Francisco.
“Our deepest condolences go to his family, who ask for privacy at this most difficult of times.”
Earlier this year, Adrian appeared in episodes of the mystery series ‘Death in Paradise’ and in 2023 he starred in World War Two play ‘The White Factory’ in London.

The group feel rejuvenated as they return with new music that is a “balance of nostalgia and freshness”.
The frontman said: “After taking some time off the road and spending time catching up with family and loved ones, I finally have felt the desire to go back to the sonic places that originally brought me the most joy, but with a new outlook and mentality. The world looks much different after being a band for more than a decade. But some things will always remain the same. It’s finding that right balance of nostalgia and freshness that brings me the most joy in the studio. We had a lot of fun making this one and hope you enjoy it too.”

Former President Bill Clinton has a memoir coming out this fall about his years since leaving public office in 2001. “Citizen: My Life After the White House” will cover everything from the presidential campaigns of his wife, Hillary Clinton, to his views on events ranging from the Jan. 6 insurrection to the Iraq War.
Alfred A. Knopf, which published Clinton’s million-selling presidential memoir “My Life,” will release the new book Nov. 19.
“I knew as I entered this new chapter of my life that I’d keep score the way I always have: Are people better off when you quit than when you started? Do our children have a brighter future? Are we coming together instead of falling apart?” Clinton said in a statement Thursday.
“‘Citizen’ is the story of my 23-plus years since leaving the White House, told largely through the stories of other people who changed my life as I tried to help change theirs, of those who supported me, including those I loved and lost, and of the mistakes I made along the way,” he said.
Knopf is calling the book “remarkably candid, and richly detailed,” offering “fascinating insight into Clinton’s life — both personal and political.”
Over the past two decades, Clinton has worked on numerous charitable causes, including AIDS treatment and relief for Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.
