Marlon Brando Jr. was an American actor and film director with a career spanning 60 years, during which he won many accolades, including two Academy Awards for Best Actor, three BAFTA Awards for Best Foreign Actor and two Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor — Motion Picture Drama.
He initially gained acclaim and his first Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role for reprising the role of Stanley Kowalski in the 1951 film adaptation of Tennessee Williams‘ play A Streetcar Named Desire, a role that he originated successfully on Broadway.
“He was in a school play and enjoyed it … So he decided he would go to New York and study acting because that was the only thing he had enjoyed. That was when he was 18.” In the A&E Biography episode on Brando, George Englund said Brando fell into acting in New York because “he was accepted there. He wasn’t criticized. It was the first time in his life that he heard good things about himself.
Brando was the first to bring a natural approach to acting on film. According to Dustin Hoffman in his online Masterclass. Once Brando felt he could deliver the dialogue as natural as that conversation he would start the dialogue. Brando used his Stanislavski System skills for his first summer stock roles in Sayville, New York, on Long Island.His performances seemed effortless, his immersion into his character was absolute, giving the impression he was speaking and hearing lines for the first time. So much of acting is being present, listening, and Brando had mastered that on stage before he came to film. He brought purity to the art, something near magical in the way he slipped in and out of character.

The father of method acting
In the years after he was guilty of taking huge salaries and often behaving terribly on sets, making fools of directors and enemies of producers. As his weight ballooned to over three hundred pounds he could not walk well, and rarely acted after the hell that became, because of him, The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). Sadly, that is how a generation remembers him.
