Marlon Brando (1924 – 2004) was an American actor and considered one of the most influential actors of the 20th century.[1]
Having studied with
Shakespeare's Julius Caesar; and Air Force Major Lloyd Gruver in Sayonara (1957), an adaptation of James A. Michener
's 1954 novel.
The 1960s saw Brando's career take a commercial and critical downturn. He directed and starred in the
highest-grossing film ever made, and alongside his Oscar-nominated performance in Last Tango in Paris (1972), Brando reestablished himself in the ranks of top box-office stars. After a hiatus in the early 1970s, Brando appeared in supporting roles such as Jor-El in Superman (1978), as Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now (1979), and Adam Steiffel in The Formula
(1980), before taking a nine-year break from film.
