In a business that burns through people quickly, Steve Landesberg is a long-distance runner with the kind of filmography that takes a while to scroll through. Careers that pass the 55-year mark are a small club. Of everything on the filmography, 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' is the work that traveled the furthest. 'Wild Hogs' is a second title with real reach. The first credits arrived long before the title most people know. Comedy has been the most frequent territory.
