'''Marlon Brando, Jr.''' (b. April 3, 1924, in Omaha, Nebraska; d. July 1, 2004, in Los Angeles) was an American actor who was featured in some of the most well-known [[Hollywood]] films of the second half of the twentieth century. Brando's idiosyncratic use of [[Konstantin Stanislavski]]'s "emotional memory" technique of acting had a profound influence on his generation of actors as well as subsequent ones.
Brando began his acting career in the theater, debuting on [[Broadway]] in 1944 in ''I Remember Mama''. His performance as Stanley Kowalski in the Broadway production of [[Tennessee Williams]]' ''A Streetcar Named Desire'' three years later and in the film version of the play catapulted the young actor to stardom and acclaim, including an [[Academy Award]] nomination for Best Actor.
Other notable films starring Brando include
*''Viva Zapata!'' (1952) – Academy Award nomination, Best Actor
*''Julius Caesar'' (1953) – Academy Award nomination, Best Actor
*''The Wild One'' (1953)
