Comments by "Morgan King" (@MorganKing95) on "Top 10 Decade Defining Actors: 1970s" video.

  1. Several people asks where Brando is on this list. Marlon Brando is my all time favorite actor, and a big inspiration for me, but actors can't be on two decade lists, and I think he belongs to the 50's; he single-handedly revolutionized modern film acting with his performances in "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "On the Waterfront", had 5 Academy Awards nominations, and had a great influence on pop culture with his performance in "The Wild One" (both Elvis Presley and James Dean based their images on him). It often makes me sad that almost every time people talk about Brando, they just mention his performance in "The Godfather" (sometimes also "Apocalypse Now"). Don't get me wrong, I think those performances are great, but it isn't just because of "The Godfather" that he's considered to be one of the greatest and most influential actors of all time, and I believe that if you want to consider yourself a true Brando fan, then you should also appreciate his performances in the 50's.
