Actor Marin Landau, who played Commander John Koenig on the TV series "Space: 1999," died on Saturday (July 15). From Hollywood Reporter: 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. ...a former newspaper cartoonist, Landau turned down the role of Mr. Spock on the NBC series Star Trek, which went to Leonard Nimoy (who later effectively replaced Landau on Mission: Impossible after Trek was canceled). |

RIP Commander Koenig.(Space 1999 was my favorite Sci-Fi show when I was growing up, slightly ahead of Star Trek.) |

He is also memorable as "Andro" in the original Outer Limits episode, "The Man Who Was Never Born.". |

Very sad news. I met Martin Landau at Autographica a few years ago. He was friendly, modest, approachable, and a very witty public speaker. A true star who thoroughly deserved his Oscar. |
