Landon's first TV role was Mitch Yancey on Castle. Coming from an aviation background and studying aerodynamics at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University the transition into acting and directing was an interesting one. Landon started making sketch comedy videos with Machinima and Makers Studios- first by writing and acting then transitioning into directing as well. His successful viral comedy content afforded him the opportunity to direct commercials, which transitioned into his first film Dicky Sledgehammer. Dicky has been selected to play in over a dozen film festivals and he's been nominated as best comedy actor and best director for Dicky Sledgehammer in numerous festivals.
