Biography: One of the greatest actors who ever lived, Brando was a genius on the screen. His ability to sell a role on the spot without practice, or study, made him the perfect leading man. He would never read a script, but would rather hear about the idea of the film and then run through the performance cold, giving only a few takes, and selling each one with perfection. Brando starred in so many classic, each one distinct and different from the other.
