Martin Landau Dead at 89

He was best known to the public for playing the character Rollin Hand in the 1960s spy series "Mission: Impossible," in which he co-starred with his then-wife Barbara Bain.

He was nominated for Emmys for each of his three seasons on the show and won the Golden Globe for best male TV star in 1968, IMBd said.
He was nominated for three Academy Awards for best supporting actor, for playing Abe Karatz in Francis Coppola's "Tucker" in 1988; the adulterous husband Judah Rosenthal in Woody Allen's "Crimes and Misdemeanors" in 1989; and Bela Lugosi in Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" in 1994. He won the Oscar for the "Ed Wood" role.

I still enjoy watching the old Mission Impossible shows.

I was a fan of Space: 1999 when it was on the air.

Awww man! Ive always loved him. I especially loved his portrayal of film producer Bob Ryan in Entourage. Also Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil in the X Files.

 

[Disgustipated]

His villainous informant on X-Files was sweet.

Space:1999 is a classic. Long and productive career. RIP

 

[Wrong Element]

Pretty good second act to his career. He had his first Oscar nomination at age 60, and then two more after that.

Ed Wood is one of my favorite movies.

 

[Not Normal]

A great actor and seemingly a good person. He will be missed.

I heard about this while watching poker. He has an important supporting role in Rounders, the movie that fueled much of the "poker boom."
