After scaling the heights of hip hop as the de facto head of the Wu-Tang Clan, arguably the most influential rap group in history, RZA has found increasing success in film and television, firstly as an actor — he has starred in films like American Gangster (2007), G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) and Nobody (2021) and series like Californication — and more significantly with writing and directing. His directorial debut, 2012’s The Man With the Iron Fists, starred Oscar-winner Russell Crowe, Dave Bautista and Lucy Lu. RZA followed that with Love Beats Rhymes, a musical drama starring Azelia Banks,...

Terry Louise Fisher, the former Los Angeles assistant district attorney who put her legal expertise to work when she teamed with Steven Bochco to create the acclaimed NBC drama L.A. Law, has died. She was 79.

Fisher lived in the Laguna Beach area and died Tuesday, family member Mark Zev Hochberg wrote on Facebook.

The Chicago native began her career in television in 1983 as a writer-producer on the second season of Cagney & Lacey. She worked alongside writing partner Steve Brown on the iconic CBS series for three seasons through 1985, and they returned for a pair of reunion telefilms in 1994 and ’95.

Fisher and Bochco also created the ABC dramedy Hooperman, starring John Ritter as a San Francisco police inspector. That 20th Century Fox Television series lasted two seasons (1987-89).

L.A. Law, revolving around the fictional law firm McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney and Kuzak, ran eight seasons from 1986-94 and collected 15 Emmys, including four for outstanding drama series.

Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, aka RZA, musician, composer, actor, filmmaker, record producer and mastermind of hip hop’s Wu-Tang Clan, has a rich career but says film ties it all together as his latest is set to world premiere at the Tribeca Festival on Sunday.

He wrote and directed the action thriller One Spoon Of Chocolate starring Shameik Moore, Rj Cyler (The Harder They Fall), Harry Goodwins (The Gentlemen), Johnell Young, Michael Harney (The Iron Claw), Rockmond Dunbar, E’myri Crutchfield, Blair Underwood (Origin) and Grammy winning country star Jason Isbell (Killers Of The Flower Moon).

This practice offers the veteran hosts time off to work on other projects, such as Mark’s latest role in the new Scream movie.

The reason behind the mini spring break the show is taking this week could be the big move to the new studio at 7 Husdon Square, Disney’s new home in New York City.
