    Juliet Landau was among the new faces on season 5 of Amazon's 'Bosch'. Despite trading shoulder-length waves for short bangs and a ponytail, fans known Landau as Drusilla from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Another little-known thing about Landau is that she is the daughter of Oscar-winning actor Martin Landau and his 'Mission: Impossible' co-star Barbara Bain. The 'Ed Wood' actress went on to add that her docu-film 'A Place Among The Dead', in fact, "tackles the agreements we all construct with our parents, how these become the voices in our heads, which inform our choices and can lead to destruction - depending on what you come from.

    The movie is a different and in depth twist on a genre that has intrigued Hollywood for decades. Co-written with her husband, Deverill Weekes, the show explores the repercussions of unearthing narcissism and evil. It drains you full and leaves you as a shell. I wanted to make an entertaining production, but also wanted to lull the audience into a instinct of safety to experience unsafe and radical ideas.

    Narcissists hold been in the news a lot recently. What struck me most during our half hour conversation over Zoom was how warm, caring and insightful this veteran actor is, despite the dark and horrible things she has no doubt experienced and had to channel into her work. But there is a yearning for it. According to Landau, this increase in interest and new-found openness may possess been partly triggered by seeing so many powerful narcissists run away consequences.
