Actor Born: March 9, 1879 in Philadelphia, PA Death: September 20, 1935 in Hollywood, CA Biography:Foghorn-voiced stage actor "David Landau" was brought to Hollywood in 1931 to re-create his Broadway role of the homicidal Maurrant in "Elmer Rice"'s "Street Scene". Landau went on to appear in 32 films over a four-year period. Seldom permitted to play a sympathetic role, Landau thrived in parts calling for drunkenness (1932's "Taxi"), brutality (1932's "I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang") and all-around skullduggery ("Mae West"'s 1933 vehicle "She Done Him Wrong"). Modern filmgoers will recall "David Landau" as high-rolling gambler Jennings in the "Marx Brothers"' "Horse Feathers" (1932) and as the mysterious, tattered transient Bob Gillis in "Will Rogers"' "Judge Priest" (1934). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
