September 17, 2010: Michael Landes Remembers Lane Smith

Lane Smith In an interview with What's On Stage, Michael Landes (who played Jimmy Olsen in season 1 of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) has described actor Lane Smith (who played Perry White in the same TV series) as a friend and a mentor.

In discussing the work of playwright and director David Mamet Landes says, "I've seen a bunch of Mamet; a friend and mentor of mine who passed away, an actor called Lane Smith, was in Glengarry Glen Ross on Broadway and I saw that. They used to have a thing at Lincoln Centre in New York City where if you were a student you could go to see productions and from the late seventies and early eighties they videoed productions, so I was able to watch Al Pacino's American Buffalo, and my friend Lane's Glengarry Glen Rosson video, so it wasn't like getting the experience, but it was certainly a joy."

Landes is currently performing on stage at the Almedia theatre in London in House of Games, an adaptation of Mamet's film of the same name. You can watch a trailer for the play and purchase tickets at Almedia.co.uk.
