David Landau
Biography
David Landau was a Philadelphia-born actor who worked on stage and in movies. He studied law at the University of Pennsylvania but left those studies after a dramatics class that was meant to improve how he spoke. Between 1919 and 1929 he acted in a dozen Broadway plays, among many other stage productions, and he spent at least three years with Street Scene, starting in New York and later playing it in other cities, including London. In 1931 he took stage roles at Los Angeles venues, the Burbank and Belasco theaters, and his film debut came that same year. By the time he died in 1935, his screen work had reached 33 films.
