David Horovitch (born 11 August 1945) is an English actor, perhaps best known for playing the character of Inspector Slack in Miss Marple.
Horovitch was born in London, the son of Alice Mary, a teacher, and Morris Horovitch, a child care worker.
Horovitch was educated at St Christopher School, a boarding independent school in the town of Letchworth Garden City in Hertfordshire, followed by the Central School of Speech and Drama in London.
Horovitch has played many roles on popular British TV shows in the past 40 years including: The New Avengers, Prince Regent, Piece of Cake, Hold the Back Page, Bulman, Boon, Love Hurts, Westbeach, Just William, Drop the Dead Donkey, Peak Practice, Foyle's War, The Second Coming, Deceit and Casualty as well as starring in the little remembered ITV detective show Bognor.
In 1984 he won the role of Detective Inspector Slack for the first BBC Miss Marple adaptation, The Body in the Library. Such was the success of the character, he returned for four Miss Marple Christmas specials (The Murder at the Vicarage, 4.50 from Paddington, They Do It With Mirrors and The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side) regardless of whether the character of Slack had appeared in the original Christie novel. In 1987, Horovitch played a leading part in the BBC Christmas schedules, appearing as Slack in 4.50 from Paddington on Christmas Day, and starring in the Christmas edition of Bergerac the following evening.
