Acting Coach
Encouraged by his mentor Lee Strasberg, Landau also taught acting. Actors he has coached include Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston. In 2009, Landau, working with director Mark Rydell and screenwriter/playwright Lyle Kessler teamed up to produce an educational seminar, The Total Picture Seminar. It was an unusual two-day event covering the disciplines of acting, directing and writing for film. The three have worked together as a team for many decades at the Actors Studio teaching and coaching professional actors, writers, and directors.
For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Martin Landau has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6841 Hollywood Boulevard.
