Early life

Landau is one of five children born to television and film producer

Actor Garret Wang recalled Les Landau directing the Voyager episode "The Chute". Wang said that while he tried to focus on his part, the series' other actors often engaged Landau about possible directing opportunities. The cast had just begun to direct the series (Wang's co-star McNeil had made his directing debut on the preceding episode), and the others were excited about their own prospects.^[4]

Landau produced and directed Archibald the Rainbow Painter (1998),^[5] a fictional film about Vietnam veterans, written by Laura Landau.
