Langdon Cobb is an actor[2] who wears a bread bag over his head and a suit the tie of which has what looks like a small camera on it[1] (7ACV04).
He is, apparently, the "world's greatest actor", but always keeps his bread bag over his head, as he wants to be known for his acting and not for his looks. Calculon has challenged Cobb for the title of the "world's greatest actor", and the two entered the World Acting Championship. Bender has attempted to photograph his face.[2]
Production
Langdon Cobb was first seen in a character design released by Countdown to Futurama on 21 May 2012[1] and some information about him was revealed by the third Futurama podcast.[2]
Additional information
Trivia
- Langdon Cobb is named after Langdon Coburn, the son of a friend of Futurama writer Dan Vebber. The character's surname was changed from Coburn to Cobb due to the fact that the Futurama staff "thought it sounded too much like James Coburn."[2]
