Rest in peace Martin Landeau

ME tv is running a tribute to him on Sunday. I am such a big fan. My three fav MI: are

1. The Town

2. The Cardinal

3. Old Man Out

 

Loved the "peel-off"!

He and Leonard Nimoy both tried out for the role of Mr. Spock.

My favorite movie he was in is Ed Wood. He portrayed Bela Lugosi. Very good, too. I will miss him.

He got an Oscar for that magnificent performance. 

His daughter appears in that movie too.

 

I always loved him as one of Hitchcock's menacing bad guys in North by Northwest.

 

He was all over 50's & 60's TV, from westerns to The Outer Limits.

I remember hearing he won 3 Golden Globes, too. He was great in Ed Wood. I haven't seen the real Bela in a movie, but makes me want to since he won an Oscar for that role.
