Brand - Marlon Brando

Japanese: ブランド - ぶらんど(英語表記)Marlon Brando
Brand - Marlon Brando

American film actor. Born in Omaha, Nebraska. Rebellious from an early age, he was expelled from the U.S. Military Academy. He learned the Stanislavski system of acting, which involves immersing oneself in a character, and achieved success on Broadway in A Streetcar Named Desire (1948), directed by E. Kazan. He starred in Kazan's film adaptation (1951), and showed off his strange sexual appeal in Zapata (1952), Julius Caesar (1953), and The Brute (1954), becoming a popular star with his intense acting. He won an Academy Award for Best Actor for On the Waterfront (1954), and began working as a director in One-Eyed Jacks (1961). He eventually adopted an anti-establishment attitude and refused an Academy Award for Best Actor for The Godfather (1972). He did receive an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor for the TV miniseries Roots II (1979). He was one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood, and starred in films such as "Last Tango in Paris" (1972), "Apocalypse Now" (1979), "The Great Passage" (1989), and "DNA" (1996). He once lived on a small island in the Tahiti archipelago to study natural foods.
