Marlon Brando, Jr. (April 3, 1924 � July 1, 2004) was an American actor who performed for over half a century.

He was perhaps best known for his role as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire, his Academy Award-winning performance as Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront, both directed by Elia Kazan in the early 1950s and his Academy Award-winning performance as Vito Corleone in The Godfather. In middle age he also played Colonel Walter Kurtz in Apocalypse Now, both directed by Francis Ford Coppola and an Academy Award-nominated performance as Paul in Last Tango in Paris.

Brando had a significant impact on film acting. He was the foremost example of the "method" acting style, and was initially parodied for his "mumbling" diction, but his mercurial performances were highly regarded. Director Martin Scorsese said of him, "He is the marker. There's 'before Brando' and 'after Brando'.'" Actor Jack Nicholson once said, "When Marlon dies, everybody moves up one."

Brando was also an activist, supporting many issues, notably the American Civil Rights and various American Indian Movements.
