Every now and then, we pause in awe of the people we've had the opportunity to spend time with. Doug Trumbull, John Kricfalusi, and Paul Verhoeven in earlier years, Armin Shimerman and Frank Oz more recently -- now it's Martin Landau's turn, and we couldn't be happier.

In an extended and wide-ranging interview, we got a chance to discuss the length and breadth of Martin's career. In the course of talking about his roles in North by Northwest, Mission: Impossible, and his Oscar-winning portrayal of Bela Lugois in Ed Wood -- and much, much more -- Martin provides insights on the art of acting, shares anecdotes from the set, and talks about the sometimes seamy politics that drive the film industry. It is, all told, a fascinating exploration of the life of an actor -- click on the player button to hear the interview, or right-click the title to download.
