Martin Landau, whose acting credits were as long as the odd coloured sleeve he wore as Commaner Koenig in Space 1999.

He was really creepy in North by North-West.

He was quite creepy in Space 1999.

He also popped up in the original Mission Impossible.

Remember him from Mission Impossible, certainly.
Didn't watch Space 1999 very much.

I remember him from both, much preferring Space 1999. I think it was the cool models that swayed it to be honest.

I fancied the cute little Burmese in Space 1999, even though I had to watch it dubbed into Afrikaans.

1999 was excellent (well, the first season was...), but the best thing Martin Landau did for the world (along with Barbara Bain, also a 1999 stalwart) was give us Juliet Landau, AKA Druscilla from Buffy...
