Martin Landau, the all-purpose actor who showcased his versatility as a master of disguise on the Mission: Impossible TV series and as a broken-down Bela Lugosi in his Oscar-winning performance in Ed Wood, has died. He was 89.

Landau, who shot to fame by playing a homosexual henchman in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1959 classic North by Northwest, died Saturday of "unexpected complications" after a brief stay at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, his rep confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.

Always liked his acting, even if he never really became an "A lister" type actor (like harrison ford, or tom cruise)..

RIP Mr Landau..

Guy was PHENOMENAL as Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood...but for me, one of his best roles was as a forensic pathologist in a little-known "filler" TV police procedural show called The Evidence.

I wish I could find some clips to show off.
