While growing up in Illinois, Landon's passion was theater, where he starred in many productions. He went to flight school in Florida and was part of the "Riddle Players" Improv group, and during the summer of his sophomore year he met 'Gavin Degraw' who had yet to release his debut album. They ended up becoming friends and Landon played a few shows with him on his summer tours as his drummer. Later, when Gavin landed the theme song to "One Tree Hill" (2003), as fate would have it, Landon was transfered to Wilmington (where OTH is filmed) to fly airplanes. He ended up being brought on with Gavin in an episode in which Gavin was guest-starring. Landon wanted to move to Los Angeles to pursue music and acting from there, but felt he should try flying for the airlines before he made that jump. That turned out to be the best move for his acting career. He was hired by United and was transfered to Richmond, Virginia where "John Adams" (2008) was being shot. On one of his off days he set up an audition and landed the series regular role of "The Senator". When filming was over for John Adams, Landon moved to LA. Within a couple of months he landed a several national commercials, numerous print campaigns, a cameo in Yes Man (2008), and teamed back up with Gavin Degraw as his drummer for Gavin's single "I'm in Love With a Girl."
