Notes on Martin Landau

"There was a ten-year period where everything I did was bad. I'd like to go back and turn all those films into guitar picks. I can't even remember most of the titles. I played a lot of heavies, one-dimensional rubbish. No, I wasn't driving a cab, and yes, I was better off than many people. But I was working for directors who didn't know anything about acting and stories. They only cared about car chases and explosions. I'm lucky I kept my sanity. It wasn't pleasant." - Landau quoted in The New York Times, Oct. 2, 1994

Landau was one of Gene Roddenberry’s top picks to play Mr. Spock on his then new sci-fi series, “Star Trek” (CBS, 1966-69).
