I really enjoyed seeing him in so many things. It's fun to spot him in some of his early roles, such as the sleazy guy in North by Northwest, et al. He was great in Ed Wood. But I'll always remember him most fondly as Rollin Hand in Mission: Impossible.
DAMN, so it's Rollin NOT Roland! I should've looked that up first to verify it.

So now you are stalking me because I called you out for being right wing Trump troll on the politics board hi224. When your slew of creepy passive aggressive PMs failed to intimidate me you turned to even more despicable activities. You are angry and pathetic, and as a compassionate person I feel sorry for you, but you don't scare me. Back in the "good ol' days" (the former IMDb message boards), whenever a celebrity passed, there was some troll who always started a thread titled "Jack Nicholson warned him/her". He was reported many times, and I think he was finally banned from posting. So far, those damned threads haven't appeared in this new format, and I hope they never do.

Unless I'm mistaken, my most vivid memory of him is his yelling "NO!" and pounding the podium as the orchestra tried to play him off the stage during his Oscar acceptance speech.

I thought he was great in Cleopatra. I'm guessing he was one of the last main characters that was still alive from that film.
I remember in the mid '90s when the first Tom Cruise Mission Impossible came out, MTV was doing a story about the Oscars and the debut of the MI film and the host (it was that annoying chick that did M2 for awhile - Kennedy?) didn't know that Martin Laudau was in the original Mission Impossible when she congratulated him for his win in Ed Wood. He was clearly ticked about this. I think he walked off camera and then came storming back. That is an awesome memory. I hated that so called "VJ" on MTV.

...RIP...I wonder whatever happened to his wife, Barbara Bain... They divorced in 1993, she still acts sporadically, but nothing memorable lately.

...RIP...I wonder whatever happened to his wife, Barbara Bain... They divorced in 1993, she still acts sporadically, but nothing memorable lately. I can remember about the time I ran into Landau at the Tower Records Classical Store, there was a news story about Barbara Bain involving her dog being killed by being hit by the delivery of the Sunday edition of the Los Angeles Times newspaper. The story reminded me of a cartoon, but as an animal lovers made me sad.

Martin Landau was indeed a major player in the series “Mission: Impossible” and was a big factor in its success. Landau and then wife Barbara Bain were regulars in the first three seasons of seven total. Landau was nominated for an Emmy for each of his three seasons. Bain was also nominated three times and won one of them. The show ran from 1966 to 1973. Of the actors who were regular or semi-regular cast members, we have lost:
Steven Hill (team leader in season one) Peter Graves Greg Morris Leonard Nimoy Bob Johnson (the voice on the self-destructing tape: “Good morning, Mr. Phelps.”) And, now, Martin Landau
A surprising number of regulars and semi-regulars are still with us, including:
Barbara Bain Peter Lupus (all 7 seasons. Had a cult following as the Man Who Never Talks. Actually, he did have a line or two in most shows but mainly he, litterally, did all the heavy lifting) Lynda Day George (last two seasons)

However, I don't blame you; Warren stunk to high heaven, and was replaced the following season by the better actress Lynda Day George.

She just wasn't right for M:I. Instead of the more sophisticated femme, Warren often posed in the cons as a free-living hippie girl. That just wasn't what Mission fans had come to expect. She was only in the cast for season five. Some other ladies who filled in on occasion during the later seasons were Lee Meriweather and Barbara Anderson ("Ironside"). Meriweather and Anderson are still among us as well.
