  Telegraph | News | David Kossoff
David Kossoff, who died yesterday aged 85, was a versatile actor best known for his role as Alf Larkin in the television series The Larkins, and a charming exponent of Jewish humour, manners and aspirations.
Kossoff also became a firm campaigner for charities, particularly warning of the dangers of drugs, after the death in 1976, from heroin addiction, of his son Paul, who had been the guitarist with the rock band Free.
Kossoff's show The Late Great Paul visited a number of schools, giving an insight into the perils of drugs; he had earlier planned to give the proceeds from a year of one-man shows to charity in thanks for his son's recovery from a serious heart attack in 1975.

 Reel Streets: David Kossoff
David Kossoff, who died yesterday, 24/03/2005, aged 85, was a versatile actor best known for his role as Alf Larkin in the television series The Larkins, and a charming exponent of Jewish humour, manners and aspirations.
Kossoff's gentle, lugubrious delivery would be laced with irony and self-deprecating humour which was never without a wry kind of dignity; on radio and television he told Bible stories with a particular warmth.
The son of Russian parents, David Kossoff was born on November 24 1919 in London, and trained at art and architecture schools, including the Northern Polytechnic.

Kossoff was not a religious man in any formal definition of the term and yet in his two previous “lives” as the actor and as the Bible commentator, he had seemed to epitomise many people’s ideas of an Old Testament prophet.
He was born in 1919, the son of Louis Kossoff and his wife Anne in the centre of what was then regarded as the teeming ghetto to which Jews like his parents had come after stepping off the ships that had brought them from Russian persecution.
Kossoff was almost as practised a hand at playing Russians as he was portraying aged Jews.

Kossoff — son of the noted British actor, David Kossoff — started playing in the mid 1960s and his first professional gig was with Black Cat Bones alongside drummer Simon Kirke.

 Zeek | David: The Original Drama King
Given the Jewish prominence and drama of David’s story, it is unsurprising that Jonathan Rosen (author of The Talmud and the Internet and, more recently, the novel Joy Comes in the Morning) has chosen Robert Pinsky’s The Life of David to kick off the new “Jewish Encounters” series of books.
In children’s books of stories from the Bible (most notably David Kossoff’s, which featured David and Goliath on the cover), David is an everpresent figure.
Likewise, the brutal, calculating, incestuous rape of Tamar by David's son Amnon is apparently not well-known enough to deter people from naming their daughters after her (unless, of course, they are naming their children after the other incestuous Tamar, Judah's daughter-in-law, an ancestor of David).

To facilitate his aggressive attack, Kossoff utilized heavy picks and heavy strings for maximum tone, and developed the slow and quick vibrato that would one day become his trademark.
With Rodgers as the front man, the diminutive Kossoff became a great foil with his haunting vibrato and lion’s mane of hair as he played with untamed passion.
An excellent example of some of Koss’s guitar layering techniques is “I’ll Be Creepin’”, which features both a clean riff guitar and a wah-wah laden chordal wash. The result is a mysterious and threatening sounding tune, augmented by a beautifully lyrical solo.
