Holy shit. I read your comment before watching the video. I know both actors faces well and throught "Zane might look a bit like bald Brando but I doubt it's uncanny". But nope. Spitting image. Lol. Great comment.
John Goodman's description of him is perfect. The truth, he knew it better than anyone. "He was good at humanity" sums up why Brando was such a good actor too. He knew human nature at its very core and depth. He went places 99.9% of people would never go because it was too painful. He took that pain for all of us and made brilliance out of it. His life growing up was really fucked up and he used all of that pain to his advantage. Watch the documentary on him Listen to me Marlon, it will make you understand him more and exactly what Billy Zane is talking about is featured as well.
Brilliant mind. I wouldn't know if he couldn't remember his lines, but surely he was acting out as if the lines were his. Amazing actor! Rest In Peace Mr. Brando!
The great Paul Newman himself talkin’ Brando.… *LOVE IT!* 😎 All in all, it’s great to see all of this. Brando’s talent & just the overall impact he made is staggering
The night Marlon Brando publicly refused the Oscar for his role in the Godfather , members of the American Indian Movement in the Pine Ridge Reservation were at war with the evil FBI and they weren't too sure if they were going to win . Then they heard about Marlon Brando refusing the Oscar and gave them hope .

@@stjohnssoup not everything . Brando's opinion on the way Hollywood was correct . I should know personally . I'm an Alaskan Native and I KNOW Nanook Of The North is a stupid and racist movie . Don't try and make up MORE WHITE LIES . LIKE WHITE PEOPLE DISCOVERED AMERICA . OH , BY THE WAY , THE SUPREME COURT FINALLY DECLARED HALF OF KANSAS IS OWED TO A NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBE .
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.
I was still in high school and doing English Lit way back in the early '80s (Shakespeare: "Julius Caesar," my favorite of all of Shakespeare's works, and "The Merchant of Venice") when one day, I stumbled upon "Julius Caesar" on the television, quite by accident. To this day, it's still my favorite film adaptation of any of Shakespeare's works, too, and Marlon Brando was ridiculous in the movie. I always replay scenes of that movie in my head and wonder to myself if anybody ever remembers him being in that movie and I never hear anyone mention it. You are a rare one. LOL!
@@sorayaraza5827 Dorothy Pennebaker Brando. She acted in community theater in Nebraska and encouraged a callow Henry Fonda. Brando really loved her but felt her alcoholism diminished their relationship. He felt by performing it would reunite them. He would have her go over his film scripts and took on Mark Anthony because of her passion for Shakespeare. When she passed away after ON THE WATERFRONT, Brando went into a brief eclipse. But how he felt about Dorothy is obvious. When Brando formed his own production company, he named it, PENNEBAKER PRODUCTIONS.
Marlon Brando is my obsession on so many levels. I so wish I was born alot earlier so I could have met him. He's the Greatest Actor Ever & Most Uber Gorgeous Guy❤❤
I don't feel he necessarily had a disdain for his art. The disdain seemed to be pointed at the machine behind acting. Just my opinion of course but he said quite a few things over the years to indicate as such.
Thanks for the video. I’m a young man learning about the greatness of acting, and see such actors talking that way about Brando is like seeing musicians talking about Miles Davis. Thanks again, a lot.
These actors have such reverence for Marlon. Quite right, of course.Changed acting and Olivier thought he was the best. You got it or you aint. He had it.
I wish we could have seen Actors on Actors type of thing with Marlon Brando and Johnny Depp... not only because they are some of the most unique masters of their craft but also because they were such great friends. some of their conversations must have been fascinating
It’s a pity the Billy Zane movie never came through. I think it was because of the pandemic. Somebody said in an interview that Pacino told them that no major American actor would dare play Brando. Anthony Hopkins wanted to play him some time ago but that never came through either. edit: the movie is happening
3:06 "But better than reality is truth" Brilliant. Thank you. THAT is what art is about. Over the years I have more or less said and thought that, but he expressed it perfectly. Not that there isn't some merit to it, but it often annoys me when people focus too much on realism when they criticize something.
We lost 2 genius: Marlon and... Robin. He was electric! You had to run just to keep up with the references (doing Brando's voice "do you have any butter?"). Rest, Mr. Williams.
Bald Billy Zane really does look like Brando as Colonel Kurts in Apocalypse Now!!! I didn't understand why he was such a loved model until i just noticed he does look like Brando & James Caan especially when he was young , also looked like he could actually be Brandos real life son!!!! They picked the perfect actor to play as Sonny in The Godfather especially considering hes playing as Brandos characters actual son in that film!!!! RIP to both of them ❤
Watch the scene where he almost fights Ben Johnson in "One Eyed Jacks," and you'll see what theater goers saw in 1947...this weird sense of the 4th wall being broken...almost.
Kudos to Chris Reeve who was the only actor I saw who ever publicly called Brando out for phoning it in in later in his career. "Waste of talent because at one point he stopped caring" he said... SPOT ON.. Odd though even when Marlon was phoning it in you cant take your eyes off him...
Dick Cavett actually told him that when he was interviewing him, that he felt like Brando was robbing people of his talent with his choices. I think many people felt that way. What a unique gift, but he frowned upon it like it was a bad thing to get people to marvel at something.
Edward Norton also said that, and he described it in a really good way, he was respectful but also admitted that Brando just got greedy, got lazy, turned way arrogant. And seriously read up on his 70s work and after, it was so much arrogance on the set, like a diva. But according to Norton, Brando said that during A Streetcar named Desire he was still just a normal kid with a nomral life and the buzz hadn't hit him that much yet, but afterwards he was sitting on a mountain of candy. I do find it annoying that people don't want to admit the massive faults with this dude, because seriously unless your a major movie buff, most ppl know him from the works where he was the most arrogant in. And it took me a while to find out why he thought he deserved to be so arrogant, and now I can appreciate his influence on acting, at least early on in his career.
@@GuineaPigEveryday 100%! People live to mention his late, late work, mostly cause of Island of Moreau and his looka, but it started way earlier, already in the 70s he didn't seem to give a f and would purposefully disrupt takes etc. I've read so much about him, and in biographies etc there are many, many quotes showing he just didn't care about movies anymore (if he ever really did) and looked at filmmaking as ridiculous. As he told Fairuzo Balk when she asked for tips about her characters motivation during Moreau: "You're getting paid for this, right? So who cares?" I agree with everything you say, and I'd be interested to know: you say that eventually you found out why Brando thought he deserved to behave so arrogantly. I still haven't any idea, so I'd love to hear your opinion?
This is the fourth time I've heard that Brando had cue-cards for every movie he did because he could not remember lines and they all called him a genius. A genius that can't remember lines is probably rare, but he might have been been accused of both.
Johnny Depp who's got a great range as an actor has used an earpiece since the 90s to remember lines...plenty of actors used cue cards....if the performance is good who cares ??
Most of the people who worked with Brando say that he could snap into character in an instant. NPR had an interview with Francis Ford Coppola where he talked about meeting him for the beginnings of The Godfather and he spoke about his ability to transform and how amazing it was. Short term memory has some effect on talent but if you can instantly act truthfully, knowing lines beforehand is of little consequence because the work will still be good.
@@sarahmitchell5206 Perhaps most Hollywood have ear-pieces. Learning lines and memorization is reserved for the very smartest... there's just no way the normal person can remember that much, it's impossible. Like how many lines could one remember, you are eventually going to forget them if there are delays in shooting. So then you would have to tell the director that you need to go back to your trailer and start learning again and perhaps you have been assigned a memorization coach by Metro Goldwyn-Meyer and in your contract you have stipulations for ear-pieces. But remembering lines is just impossible.
Crazy to learn from the series "The Offer" that Al Ruddy, the producer who somehow managed to get The Godfather made, passed on producing Godfather 2 to make his pet project, The Longest Yard, starring Burt Reynolds.
Dennis Hopper and Harry Dean Stanton to me are two of the most unique actors, but even they had to defer to the king of formidable idiosyncrasy, Mr. Marlon Brando. Perhaps he and James Dean, coming out of the macho 50's, were actors spoke more with their faces than with their words- and seemed to redefine what a leading man represented. To me they showed sensitivity to the burden of one's own self-awareness, and a resignation to triumph over the pain that it brings.
One of my favorite performances of ALL TIME is in Quemada, or BURN!, which not enough people mention or have heard of, because it is SUCH an anti-western colonialism movie. (No, I don't hate the West, but this is a great and honest movie about the past in the Caribbean.) I like Brando more in this than Godfather, or anything in his later career. It's just an unbelievably great performance.
Its just one slap.... and the joke from Chris Rock was absolutly stupid. Yeah Smith didnt react well.... but its just a f slap, man... Chris Rock comedy last time was good 10 -12 years ago. Look at Bill Burr last speacial.... TOTAL CRAP!!!! A sellout!!! Many comedians right now uses the apology "There is no bad comedy" or "this is just a joke".... WHEN YOU INSULTING SOMEONE MEDICAL CONDITION IN FRONT OF THE WORLD....YOU DESERVE THE F SLAP!!!! even more than a slap... a punch in his ugly face AND!!!! Why nobody fired Chris Evans for saying 1.5 billion people are idiots... or when Anthony Starr beat up a drunk guy in Spain or Portugal.... But no no no no no.... a slap is the problem.... or Gina Carano telling the truth...... Yah... those are problematic.....

R.I.P. to both legends
I met Brando back in 82, while at a little deli in Studio City. Ca. He was actually nice…
Nice.
“Do you have any butter?” Hahahah robin was funny AF
Remember this. Brando was fighting for civil rights and minorities when it wasn't "cool thing to do" and before it was a trend
You know that’s not true at all

Roman Clay I can not believe you didn't include Las Tango in Paris. His best acting in my opinion, after Streetcar.
He was really reallly good in One Eyed Jacks too. It was from all that work he did with Kazan.
John Goodman is a very smart man. He see’s things as they are, that’s intelligence.
Marlon Brando is my obsession on so many levels. I so wish I was born alot earlier so I could have met him. He's the Greatest Actor Ever & Most Uber Gorgeous Guy❤❤
Brando is such an enigma , considered by many to be the author of a new style of acting he seemed to have total disdain for his art.
I don't feel he necessarily had a disdain for his art. The disdain seemed to be pointed at the machine behind acting. Just my opinion of course but he said quite a few things over the years to indicate as such.
The favourite actor of the best actors.
Brando said the truth is what makes us whole and he was a poet that did that for me

These actors have such reverence for Marlon. Quite right, of course.Changed acting and Olivier thought he was the best. You got it or you aint. He had it.
Marlon fought for year's to have on his tombstone "what the fuck was that all about " pure Brando, they didn't let him
Loved it..He always was self-depreciating, probably part of what made him great..They should have let him had his way, it would have been pure irony..
@dianrongyu1326 So much for granting last requests...
Only John Goodman and Dennis Hopper perfectly described him as all the others are just sharing funny stories with him.
I wish we could have seen Actors on Actors type of thing with Marlon Brando and Johnny Depp... not only because they are some of the most unique masters of their craft but also because they were such great friends. some of their conversations must have been fascinating
As much as Brando was brilliant, I'd like to see a montage of people that worked or met Robin Williams.
Yes. I would watch that, and make a video about Paul Newman that would be cool.
I'd rather hear the stories that they wouldn't tell on camera. He was wild. Him & Richard Prior must of had some wild nights.
If you had an eight ball you could hang out with Robin Williams….for ten minutes!
My favorite scene yes comical Luca and Brando talk ❤
Colin Farrell has always reminded me of Brando because he has a capacity for masculinity and the vulnerability of a child at the same time.
That's beautiful.
Thank you for that great description
Also, Marlo Brando and Colin Farrell are both hot as fuck
I think you can see both sides of him in his very underrated performance in the very underrated second season of True Detective.
yup he was openly bisexual too
Robin Williams was so freaking talented and hilarious.
I met Luca Brasi in a bar in Walnut Creek California, June, 1996. He drove a Cadillac.
Was it Dan's?
And you are still alive?.
Thrilled to watch this. Thank you👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌈🌈👏🌈👏🌈❤️❤️❤️
Coming down to earth, Brando was The Godfather of a technique referred to as “Method “ acting. I believe he was a student of Stella Adler.
Yes many were...Shelley Winters, Lee J Cobb, Kazan, Malden....all Oscar winners too.
Brando was born on the same day as my mother; April 3, 1924. That means he was only 48 when he played The Godfather!!!
Cool 🆒 Aries is my favorite sign I’m a Sagittarius ♐️.
Broderick turning up his story for the talk show is funny
It's interesting how most of the actors when talking about Brando fall into doing their voice impression of him. It's like they can't help it.

None should. If somebody wants to know Marlon Brando, there are a plenty of his genius films to watch. And a few interveiws he gave.
@@Brisingam well said.
@@Brisingam I agree that no one could really play him, although Billy Zane would've been interesting
The guy who played Brando in "The Offer" did a pretty good job.
@@BrianRPaterson agreed
If Apocalypse Now is ever remade, Billy Zane has a job.
The first clip is so funny. It seems so weird to me that Marlon Brando would watch Pulp Fiction haha. RIP Marlon, my favorite actor.
Maybe because they were friends, Johnny Depp has some of the best Brando stories and does a good impression.
Billy Zane would be the perfect Lex Luther in a Superman movie.
Well, at least he could've been funnier than Eisenberg, but that's where the positives end.
He was considered for Lex Luthor in Superman Returns when it was in development hell
he was not in good terms with Jewish Hollywood, and he survived...it's something
It’s crazy how racist You people are

Pedro Pascal looks a bit like Marlon Brando in Viva Zapata. At least for me.
He was acting in his way.
What about Eddie Murphy on Jimmy Fallon???
According to Broderick account Brando went from 20mins late on set to 4 hours. Did he add 10mins every time he re told the story?
Haha I did notice that.
Also changed what he was wearing. I’m guessing he told the story so often he needed to change it otherwise he’d bore himself
one about james dean pls !
Every time Broderick tells the story the color of Brando’s sweat suit changes lol
And for how long was Brando late to arrive either...
Brando is greatest actor ever
Why is Will Smith there?
