- WARNING: Clip contains explicit language! In this scene from the conclusion of "Roots: The Next Generations," Alex Haley (played by James Earl Jones) interviews George Lincoln Rockwell, the head of the American Nazi Party, for a magazine article. Rockwell is played by Marlon Brando in a characteristically unique performance. "Roots: The Next Generations," the sequel to the original "Roots" mini-series, aired over seven days in February 1979 on ABC.

How did I not know these two worked together?
Marlon Brando & James Earl Jones are two serious talents.
RIP James Earl Jones and Marlon Brando
According to David Wolper, who produced Roots, Brando called him out of the blue and asked if he could be in the sequel series as he was a fan of the original and loved the idea of playing Rockwell. The day of filming, Wolper came to the set and Brando could tell he was nervous about working with him. He told Wolper there’d be no trouble, go back to his office and he’d call him at 5:00. At 5 exactly, Brando called and said they’d just finished filming, he was taking everybody to dinner and he thanked Wolper casting him
who cares.. he did a very poor job it's a mockery working with the people that Rockwell knew were the enemy..and i'm not talking about the Africans.
What a gracious and generous guy he was
RIP Mr Jones Sir & Thank You.
Two of my favorite actors.
Marlon is the greatest, I laughed when he brought out that spray can and I also laughed at the end when he was muttering the words to that song. Brando was funny and charming, I love watching him in movies but I also enjoy his interviews.
Brando had guts to play this part. Chilling stuff. Whether it's a real representation of actual events or not it's a risk taking part - but on the other hand, if you know Brando's history, he was a champion of civil rights since the 50's. Great series. Didn't see the Roots remake.
Know who had more guts?
The man Brando is mocking here.
@@bigol9223 yes
Marlon Brando was nothing short of brilliant no matter whom he played. From Johnny in The Wild One, to Don Corleone, or even this Scene. I heard that James Earl Jones did the overdubbing when Mo Greene was having a meeting with Michael Corleone in Las Vegas.
@@bigol9223 *Yeah, no.*

I think this was Marlon Brando's only TV acting role. People think of him as being a method actor who worked just from inner feelings, but in nearly all of his performances he uses props brilliantly to illuminate the character. The air freshener is very clever. His laugh at the end is infectious. And no one ever filled a pause the way Brando could.
Brando performed on television as an actor a few times before he became famous: in 1949 in an Actor's Studio presntation titled "I'm No Hero" (he played a doctor) and in a 1950 pilot for a boxing series called "Come Out Fighting." He appeared on an episode "Omnibus" doing a few scenes from "A Streetcar Named Desire." That was in 1955, four years after the film had made him a star. After that, he only appreared as himself in interviews.
He won an Emmy for this performance.
@@TheStockwell never knew that and I thought I seen everything with Brando.
@@paulorlando5877 Brando's like Stanley Kubrick - you think you've seen and read all there is, then you find out: no, you missed something. I've always thought a western film by Kubrick would've been great. Then, someone told me he almost made one - with Brando.
Have a swell day, wherever you're having it. :)
The pauses were from Brando looking for his next cue card.
This is such a heavy scene. Wow. Brilliant acting by both men
Brando did a horrific job of playing Rockwell though. Go look at interviews with the man, acts completely differently.
@@JackSardonic Just because it was inaccurate to the real man doesn’t make it a “horrific” performance. Actors often put on their own stamp when playing real people, as opposed to trying an impersonation (now THOSE tend to be horrific).
@@thatfilmgeekguy His portrayal of George Lincoln Rockwell was flat out propaganda. What else should we expect from roots.

@@JamesBond-ml3zp You have serious, deeply rooted, unresolved issues. Idk if you were just raised poorly, if you were treated like shit and feel the emotional need to spread your misery and hatred to others, or if a black dude simply fucked your girl and you built your personality around your anger...but get that shit sorted out on your own time. It's embarrassing.
Speak to a therapist. And I also request that you consider getting a vasectomy or the female equivalent, so you don't continue to plague humanity's collective gene pool beyond one generation.
Thanks.
This scene would have been unwatchable with a lesser actor but with Marlon its mesmerizing!
Two of the Greatest Actors of All Time!
This is acting !!! James Earl Jones and Marlon Brando are a master class. 👍
The ticking in the back really adds something to the scene
I love when he starts spraying the air freshener.

@@longmemory1620 He was the King of Improvisation and Practical Jokes. When they did The Godfather, him hitting Johnny Fontaine wasn't even in the Script. It was unexpected that's why Robert Duvall broke up laughing. When they bought Don Corleone Home from The Hospital they had a Hard time taking him upstairs, he put in some Weights on Purpose to make the struggle more realistic. The Cat that he held came on the Paramount Set and it became somewhat of a Mascot.
Brando does a wonderful job with the character. I love how he doesn't let the set envelope him, how he uses the chair, the way he almost plays the Nazi leader as lazy. It is not an accurate portrayal of George L. Rockwell but it was one hell of a scene stealing performance. The way he chuckles when he is saying the most vile things, Brando is amazing.
"It is not an accurate portrayal of George L. Rockwell but it was one hell of a scene stealing performance" doesn't that just say everything about Hollywood and their ability to warp peoples minds.
No matter what; Marlon Brando is ALWAYS perfect!!!!!!!! They are both killing !!!!!
George Lincoln Rockwell and Alex Haley maintained an oddball correspondence until Rockwell's assassination.

Very intense scene. I've read about Brando's character.

Rest your soul, James Earl Jones.
Brando must have loved the part when even his character did not know the words.
According to the producers of "Roots:The Next Generation", Marlon Brando asked to be in it but told them he wanted to play a bad character, so they approached him with the part of George Lincoln Rockwell.

Never watched it. Boxed set. But enjoyed this scene on the RUclips before.

Brando is NOTHING like GLR.
That’s completely false. Watching this is basically a carbon copy of GLR. Brando’s depiction is absolutely perfect
The hair colour is wrong, the voice just sounds like Brando. The only thing right is the pipe.
Brilliant acting by. Brando. it's so against what he believed in. It must have been hard to film for both actors!
It's really not. He didn't play it honest.
That’s why it’s called acting
Lol . There Brando reading his lines . Brilliant actor
interestingly enough, Marlon Brando was a civil rights activist.
A lot are jumping on the same bandwagon these days , Meryl Streep , Robert De Niro, they're using their fame as a platform , Bob Geldof amongst others

@@adagioelegy1949 Someone agrees with this or it wouldn't STILL be on RUclips!!
@@adagioelegy1949
Fighting for what you subjectively deem is right, doesn't mean it's right.
That's what makes Marlon a perfect actor for this role - he knew his subject and he knew how to make it a weird combination of can't-wait-to-punch-his-face-in and charisma, which is how these hate mongers create their huge movements in real life.
If Marlon were still alive today, 96 years old or not, he'd definitely get up to kick the asses of all these right-wing thinly-veiled nazi-apologists here in the comments section. It'd probably kill'em, but I bet he'd prefer dying kicking some real life nazi ass than his heart condition or whatever it was in 2004.
This was a powerful scene.
yes indeed
Based
This is laughably terrible. GLR was a very jovial sort. Brando dressed him up in black and put him in sinister shadows and played him like a supervillain. They adapted the content of the interview but not the character.
George Rockwell I'm against racism of any kind but MANY of what Mr. Rockwell was saying IS Being practiced on a DAILY basics by SO CALLED LIBERALS and DEMOCRACT'S in the form of Job Discrimination, Housing, and housing especially, they don't want you living in THEIR neighborhood. You or your children just might get their DAUGHTER PREGNANT with a MIXED CHILD.
George Rockwell ALL Humans are Flesh, Blood, and Bone with various degrees of intellect. Nobody escapes the "HUMAN CONDITION" " A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand" We either ALL work together for Progress and Prosperity with liked minded people or simply associate with those who fit whatever Agenda one might have as long as NO CRIMES are committed as a result, then we are simply staying within the Boundaries of "Free Speech"! and Free Will!Anything else that affects the well being and welfare of SOCIETY is in my opinion antisocial behavior and Borders on Criminal or even "Treasonous" intentions which will be DEALT with accordingly within the rules of the law that applies to such actions.
@@JamesBond-ml3zp cry me a river
And yet Brando won an Emmy for this.
@@JamesBond-ml3zp Would you want your daughter to have a mixed child?
The truth is that this role was beneath Brando, as it was a made-for-TV movie, and he was arguably the most celebrated actor on Hollywood. But it was said that he greatly admired Alex Haley and the book Roots and wanted to contribute to the sequel to make it a success.
THIS IS A BOLD SCENE BUT MARLON BRANDO IS SO TALENTED RIP MARLON BRANDO 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 YOU WILL BE MISSED 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Remember this is a scene people
Yeah, so many people are arguing about this and that....Jesus Christ..😂
Rockwell would get a kick out of this undoubtedly. Brando! 😆
Some of the finest acting ever seen on TV. Jones was great as Haley, and conveys the sort of casual bigotry that communicates the character. I remember seeing this when originally aired, and being very impressed.
Colonel Kurtz!!
Marlon's great, but that's not Rockwell!
You are right. It is Marlon. .
I can't help but notice... The director said every time Brando looks down and up it's to read cue cards...
May Mr. Jones R.I.P.
You have to remind yourself that Jones is acting. He appears legitimately hurt, horrified and suffering from abuse.... he's amazing.
That's actually pretty false, this entire show is pretty false. Anyone who's read the interview first knows that the gun was out for protection since people tried to sneak in before to assassinate him.
The same with most of this. It doesn't cover anything about his interview went. Rockwell didn't try at all to intimidate Haley, the interview is fucking available for free to read if you don't trust me. He was respectful and simply spoke what he felt on multiple issues.
Don't expect Hollywood and the people who run it to ever be honest on this type of subject. They are J-ish supremacists.
"He was respectful and simply spoke what he felt on multiple issues"
...as a fucking NAZI.
“Could of been done by horses” 😂
You can see he put no effort in the nazi character almost as if he was mocking them,
Ok and? Like mocking a Nazi is a bad thing lol. Marlon did an amazing job here. He is a two time Oscar winner. Brando has a couple of bad performances in his career but this is definitely not one of them!!

Had to check it out after listening to TDS771... "we gonna offend you, ain't it funny"!
Powerful - albeit condensed - version of the interview. I read the actual interview and it concludes with Rockwell claiming this was a waste of his time. He felt no one would dare to publish it.
Haley also interviewed Malcolm X before he broke away from the Nation of Islam). Malcolm likewise felt his message would not get published, but it did.
Darth Vader meets Jor-El lol
Darth Vader meets Donald Trump.
DocRunaway yeah, so funny... not
Oh here's another fun fact. Marlon's Sister Jocelyn was on The Soap Opera Guiding Light and James Earl Jones replaced Billy Dee Williams around 1966 being amongst the First Black Soap Actors on TV.
Mufasa and Don Vito Corleone
George Lincoln Rockwell said in a speech that Alex's interview for Playboy originally was honest and in depth. Then Playboy's editor Maurie Fischer (possibly a Brazilian) edited it and ruined it with all this added non-sense. GLR stated he didn't want to just pull the interview because he wanted the publicity a Playboy interview gave. I'm sure this show is similar. For one thing nowhere in Alex's book or Playboy interview does GLR obnoxiously spray air freshener nor does he point a gun at Alex and put it on the desk. He wore a gun on his hip holster and Alex asked about it and George said he carries because of all the shootings done at the ANP's headquarters
James Earl laughing in his head like a mug knowing hes acting along with THE master improviser. He throws the softball up and Marlon brings back memories of the Skokie March, The Blues Brothers and me living in Chicago as a kid when it all went down. James....I was that kid who threw popcorn at the screen angry as f*** when I didnt c your face underneath the mask. Told that franchise to slob on bob ever since.
They left out a lot of questions/answers from the original interview in order to make George Lincoln Rockwell look evil.
Justin Monroe So you're saying the Nazis were good people?
Honest Person I think that what he is saying is that Racism is ALIVE and WELL and it is not just White's, but ALL Human Beings, especially BLACK'S!! They tend to keep using the RACE card EVERYTIME that they get a chance!! They don't RESPECT other CULTURES of Mankind, others who are different from themselves, and suffer from SELF HATRED!!! They are afraid of CHANGE and TECHNOLOGY among TON'S of other issues. The word SLAVE is not defined as a BLACK person but ANYONE who forced into Servitude(Fact Check) Slavery exist at this very moment( Sex, Labor, Drug's, Mind Control, immigration, etc.) Adapting is the Key and owning up to being responsible for his or her Actions as an Adult.
Michael Turner No matter how racist you say black people are, they cannot come close to the atrocity committed by the Nazis!
Honest Person its crazy considering black women have killed more blacks than the nazi could ever dream of through abortions
Honest Person yes
Jor-El vs. Darth Vader??
Seemed Brando was more happy goofing around then reading the actual lines
Didn't he win an Emmy for this performance?
Marlon Brando, yes.
I mean, it’s Marlon Brando legendary actor
You should look up speeches of George Lincoln Rockwell and Marlon Brando sounds nothing like him.
Lots of black people loved and thanks George Lincoln Rockwell for his work.

@@MrBastilleDay it's a shit hole
There is a book entitled "The Bell Curve" by Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray. It was written in 1994. Libtards like MrBastilleDay have been crying about it ever since then.
I bet he really forgot his lines at the end of the scene :D
He had them pasted all over the place cos reading them impromptu is more natural than knowing them, reading and rereading and predicting the response etc.Way ahead of his time.
He had cue cards all over the place. On top of the desk, on the ceiling, etc. He made that a condition of him doing this part, with the pittance he was paid-25k-going to charity.
@@sorayaraza5827 He did it in The Godfather too. Folks born in the 1990's saw the movie for the first time and they were blown away by Marlon Brando's Acting.
1:07 - 113
Absolutely shameless aping of the objective shot of Vito behind his desk in GF. The Suits at ABC were more concerned with sensationalizing Brando's appearance in this scene than communicating the dynamic between GLR and Alex Haley. Intertextuality run amok.
RIP James Earl Jones
Brando and Jones are incredible!!!
Check out this untold story of heroic Commander Lincoln Rockwell and the Movement he started in a new book --- "White Revolt! An American National Socialist History" --- from: ostarapublications.com/product/white-revolt-an-american-national-socialist-history/
Every time you see Brando staring upwards toward the ceiling, he's more than likely reading his lines that are plastered around the room. For whatever reason, he could not memorize lines and always used cheat sheets.
I guess he used to smoke a lot of weed before shooting a scene
He was just lazy and entitled so didn't read scripts.
Johnny Stanworth man, you really don’t like Brando....😂
@@evanabbott2737 😅 No I think he gave some great performances despite those issues but this is the worst performance I've ever seen of his.
@Kermit Frog I heard that when he did the Scene with Al Pacino in The Godfather (The Garden Scene) he had to have Cue Cards to remember what he had to say.
I love this performance, and I also love Commander Rockwell! George Lincoln Rockwell was nothing like this in reality - but I kinda wish he was!!!
Haley was a phenomenal reporter.
Because he was talented at writing fiction?
Haley and Rockwell did enjoy a grudging mutual respect. And Lincoln Rockwell did not hate blacks. Sorry, I know it spoils the narrative.
Worst casting decision ever... Doesn't sound, act or look like Rockwell at all lol.
Brando had a grudge against him and this was a personal attempt at a smear.
Rockwell was a racist and a Nazi. Marlon depicted him as the scumbag Rockwell was so bravo Marlon!
Alex Haley was truly a remarkable man!
He was also a smart and brave man interviewing Rockwell. Especially when Rockwell asked if he was Jewish or not and then playing he deceived him but he told Mr superiority the truth.
Alex Haley was truly a remarkable plagiarist.
@@pepekekistani4472 Yes. A lot of Roots was ripped off from a novel entitled, "The African."
@@ronw484 That novel was the work of a Jewish author by the name of Harold Courlander. Alex Haley was sued over this, and he had to pay damages as a result.
@@pepekekistani4472 I remember that. Alex Haley also tried to defend the made-up B.S. in Roots as not being lies but being what he called "faction" - neither fact nor fiction. It really was, to a great degree, just a propaganda piece.
brandos "caricature" here isn't representative of rockwell at all. the real rockwell wasn't disrespectful or rude in any of his documented interviews. he was a diplomat. he merely presented documented facts which have been substantiated by our government, and which have been suppressed because rockwell identified himself as a Nazi
Rockwell was an unapologetic Nazi, one of the most deplorable (yes, that word) socio-political ideologies ever conceived. But when presenting his deplorability to others he made it a point to be as polite as possible as a way of blindsiding people. He also used the shock jock tactics of slowly baiting people until they lost their tempers, and then would play the injured party. He was best summed by the South Park episode about Mormons.
Brian Middleton .....he is being polite....the context of his words is what throws you off...he is spot on portraying the pathetic racist...
They are recreating an interview George Lincoln Rockwell did with Alex Haley for playboy magazine. You can read it online they didn’t change his words. And he didn’t have any facts.
I think the WWII German uniforms and swastikas hanging about tipped me off to this not being an exact portrayal. But as Haris Oric said, the words are still true.
@Hanzo ahahah, someone's upset....hilarious....hows it feel rotting with hate from within?...
Darth Vader is talking to Don Corleone
ο Μαρλον ακομα και μεγαλος ηταν τοσο χαριτωμένος τον αγαπω
He nails it.
Can you imagine if Malcolm X and George Rockwell "Talked" to each other. I still remember when Mike Wallace (60 Minutes) got "Read" by Minister Louis Farrakhan.
What do you mean? Rockwell was an honored guest speaker at the Nation of Islam where he was welcomed and respected by Elijah Mohammed and Malcolm X, he received standing ovations from the militant black group.
We're seeing Brando pull a brilliant turn in a cameo, not GLR. It would have been a much more disturbing scene had they hired a good actor who was not a star.
Paging Luca Brazi
That spray can
Jesus, this is a terrible impression. Please go watch a rockwell interview or speech on bitchute or something. He was a great speaker and very entertaining.
Well Marlon is very entertaining in this role.
This is better than the original Roots by far! It is possessed of a nuance and subtlety that part one lacked with its cardboard characterization and melodrama. It is also way ahead of its time in introducing the importance of Holocaust Denialism.
Here' another fun fact. Marlon Brando's sister Jocelyn was on The Soap Opera Guiding Light, and she was also on Dallas as John Ross Ewing III Nanny. I think she also played a Staff Member in Mommie Dearest where Joan Crawford chokes Christina. James Earl Jones replaced Billy Dee Williams as Dr. Jim Frazier on Guiding Light in the 1960's.
Your facts aren’t that fun.
@@timsanderson5572 James Earl JOnes & Billy Dee Williams kicked the door at a crack for Black Actors. Marlon Brando's Sister may not have had the same success that her Brother did but she didn't have the problems he did. A daughter who committed suicide and a Son who did time in prison.

I like Brando. I even think he was great in Dr Monroe but fucking hell, he's terrible here. Looking around for cue cards, obviously no conviction in what he's saying ... Did he forget the last line? That looks like an outtake left in. They should've cast Dick Miller imo.

@@jinsakai2493 Why do you think integration is better?
