Famous people talking about Marlon Brando

When Sir Laurence Olivier claims Brando was astonishing, then you know what kind of caliber we're talking about.

Marlon was/is the most influential actor of all times, No question, and there is nothing more important in all of American art than Marlon...

I normally have a lot to say when it comes to acting technique, process, etc, but with Marlon Brando I have no words. He was something else. Holy.....Noble.

Marlon Brando is the greatest actor because of his unmatched acting range. From 1950-60 he played a paraplegic in THE MEN, Stanley Kowalski in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, a Mexican revolutionary in VIVA ZAPATA, Mark Anthony, a Hell's Angel in THE WILD ONE. Terry Malloy in ON THE WATERFRONT, Napoleon in DESIREE, sang and danced in GUYS AND DOLLS, a Japanese man in TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON, a contrite nazi in YOUNG LIONS then directed ONE EYED JACKS.

He was such a good actor. He made it look easy. You couldn't take your eyes off of him when he was doing his thing. He is definitely missed. Thankfully we have his movies to remember him by.

It's crazy seeing the clip with Kirk Douglas, who was "getting older" at the time, and realizing that he lived another 28 years. Aside from that debilitating stroke he had a beautiful, long life. Another Hollywood legend.

Damn. This must have taken so much time. Thank you! It really illustrates just how influential he was.

There are actors and there are stars that shines above..Marlon was one of those stars that will shine forever..the most talented brilliant actors for all generations.

Wow marlon told Christopher reeves not to go crazy doing stunt work & relayed a story how he fell off a horse & sure enough that’s how reeves became paralyzed. Wow

Brando, wow! Saw him in his first movie, The Men, NO ONE had ever acted liked that. He changed things forever. A genius.

I was lucky enough to work with Marlon towards the end of his career.. one of the most charismatic people I’ve met… very engaging when he’s in direct conversation with you …very focused in the discussion… and he was a prankster… we had an actress who took herself a bit too serious and Marlon would tease her and get her to break and laugh… He was great.. I’m glad I had the experience.

I fell for and was mesmerized by Brando when I was 10 and saw Waterfront. OMG❣️ His compassion - and gentleness have no equal. If anyone ever gets a chance to see him in The Men, don’t miss it. The Rose Tattoo - wow. Brilliant, passionate man❤️

Brando was an enigma, absolutely incredible! He was full of contradictions and idiosyncrasies, extremely vulnerable and sensitive - but with great kind heart and humanity. Actors only saw one side of him, most of them didn’t know about his life and his causes; some were very jealous, others simply misunderstood him. There are so many people who remember him with great fondness, he championed and advocated so many social changes and causes, he was brave and passionate! Karl Malden is the only one who knew more about him than others and spoke so kindly about Marlon. And the BEST actor, hands down!

You can measure the profound influence Marlon Brando had on film making by watching his films, but it's strangely more impactful hearing the effect he's had on his colleagues. Fascinating collection of impressions.

I miss Marlon Brando. Thank you for this.

Marlon Brando is THE GOAT 🐐

They way Karl Malden talks about him made me tear up.

Holy shit the range of actors giving this guy acolytes. Amazing

Marlon Brando had a big influence on many actors career but not one of them acting like him ..he was very gifted in his own way

That James Caan Waterfront impersonation is really good!
