Marlon Brando, the son of a salesman and an actress, was born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1924. His parents drank a lot of alcohol and argued often. His father sent him to a military school, but he did not do very well in the classes there.

　　 Marlon Brando moved to New York when he was 19. He took acting classes at the New School for Social Research. One of his teachers was Stella Adler, who taught the 'Method’style (方法派) of realistic acting. The Method teaches actors how to use their own memories and emotions to identify with the characters they are playing. Critics (评论家) say he was probably the greatest Method actor ever. His teacher commented on his natural ability by saying that teaching him the Method was like sending a tiger to jungle school.

　　 Marlon Brando appeared in several plays. He got his first major part in a Broadway play in 1947. He received great praise for his powerful performance as Stanley Kowalski in the play A Streetcar Named Desire. He was nominated (提名) for an Academy Award for his performance in the film version of the play.

　　 Marlon Brando acted in about forty movies. He was nominated for a total of eight Academy Awards. Brando did not win an Oscar for Best Actor until 1954 for the movie On the Water front. The film’s director, Elia Kazan, said it was the best performance by a male actor in the history of film. Brando also won an Oscar for Best Actor in The Godfather in 1972, but he rejected it.

　　 The actor was also active in the civil rights movement. He often spoke out forcefully against racism (种族歧视).

　　 Brando’s influence on the American film industry was huge. When he died in 2004, many famous actors expressed regret. One of them said simply, "He was the best."
