Early in his career, Landau starred in the television series Mission Impossible and had a supporting role in Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest before going on to receive Oscar nominations for Tucker: The Man and His Dream and Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanours in the late 1980s.
Landau won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood in 1994 and in more recent years, he earned a nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as movie producer Bob Ryan in Entourage.
