David Landau, born in 1879 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was a notable American actor whose career spanned both stage and screen. He appeared in the 1933 film She Done Him Wrong, where his role contributed to the film's blend of comedy and risqué themes, characteristic of the pre-Code era. Landau's extensive experience on Broadway, with 12 plays between 1919 and 1929, informed his dynamic performances in film. Despite his untimely decline after a stroke in 1934, his work remains a part of the conversation surrounding early American cinema.
