About Marlon Brando (1924-2004)
American actor whose A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) and On the Waterfront (1954) defined Method acting and reshaped 20th-century film performance. Closely associated with James Dean (Method-acting peer and protégé) and Montgomery Clift (Method contemporary and friend). For an intellectual contrast, see Laurence Olivier, British classical-trained actor — Olivier's technical, externally-constructed approach to acting is the precise opposite of the Method's emotional-recall internalism — the canonical 'Method vs classical' binary 20th-century acting pedagogy is organized around. Olivier reportedly told a frustrated Hoffman: 'Try acting, my dear boy'.
