In an interview I saw with marlon brando he was told " ur the best actor ever " he said he wasnt he said " al pacino is the best actor around " that's coming from the guy every actor since the 70s has emulated and worshipped . I believe brando said that bc by the time he was doing the godfather he had a disdain for acting & was doing it for a paycheck & here he was working with this kid al pacino who loves acting & I bet brando truly recognized that & his humbleness & greatness.

@joelluongo7419 Жыл бұрын

Well, I don't know if that would be entirely accurate. Like everyone, there are peaks and valleys to go through.. Brando hadn't had much acting work when the Godfather presented itself. Timing is important.. When the director of the Godfather came to Brando's house for the audition.. It only took a few minutes for Brando to begin to create the character " Godfather "! So, that is not just about money. From what I have observed.. Brando in " Superman " / Christopher Reeves ( God Rest His Soul ) was more about the money.. than the " Godfather ".

@@keetonplace You should definitely earn the first place in the list of ''THE GREATEST IDIOTS ON THE PLANET! Who has no dimension? Who always plays the same type? Al Pacino?? Do you even have an idea of what you are saying? Marlon Brando, who was worshipped as a God, when he was told that he was the best actor ever, he said: ''No I'm not. Pacino is the best actor around.'' A GOD like Brando says that, and not only Brando! Hundreds of GREAT actors praise him all the time, as an acting LEGEND, most of them even have him as their personal hero, the reason why they became actors! And then someone like you comes to undervalue Al Pacino?? Who do you think you are? You are a IDIOT, who doesn't know shit about acting, that's what you are! And that's a compliment for you!

I appreciate the talents of people like Alec Baldwin and Matt Damon and Sean Penn, Robert DiNiro as actors, but think they're wack jobs when not in from of the camera. Still, I like them as the fictional characters they play...they're quite good.
