Adrian Schiller, who starred in The Last Kingdom, has passed away unexpectedly at the age of 60, as stated by his agent.

The English performer was most famous for portraying wealthy nobleman Aethelhelm in the historical TV show The Last Kingdom on Netflix and supervisor Cornelius Penge in the royal drama Victoria on ITV.

According to his representative, he passed away unexpectedly and suddenly, and at present, there is no additional information obtainable.

The actor Schiller was recently seen on stage in Australia, performing in The Lehman Trilogy. His agent shared that he was excited to carry on with the global production in San Francisco.

Expressing his condolences through social media, Rufus Norris, the retiring head of the National Theatre, conveyed his profound sorrow and surprise over the passing of a colleague within the theater troupe.

"Adrian was an amazing performer, and the National Theatre had the privilege of collaborating with him throughout his entire profession," he expressed.

He did a fantastic job playing Henry Lehman in the first-ever showing of The Lehman Trilogy in Australia, but now that he's gone, the company will deeply feel his absence.

After completing the Australian portion of The Lehman Trilogy performance series, Schiller had concluded that part of the tour.

Schiller was part of the ensemble for a play called The White Factory, which was set during World War Two and performed at the Marylebone Theatre last year.

The theatre expressed profound sorrow on X, previously known as Twitter, upon learning about the demise of the extraordinary actor.

Throughout his profession, he also performed live in a variety of plays including Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, The Veil, The Captain of Kopenick, The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other, and Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme.

Schiller also made an appearance in two episodes of the detective show Death In Paradise set in the Caribbean, where he played the character of Pasha Verdinikov.

He starred in historical TV series such as The Musketeers, which aired on BBC, and The Devil's Whore, which was broadcast on Channel 4.

In the first month of the year, an episode of the BBC detective show Father Brown featured a character named Drake Underwood who was portrayed as a criminal involved in a failed robbery. This person was visually depicted on the screen.
