Marlon Brando, Jr. (April 3, 1924 – July 1, 2004) was an Academy Award-winning American actor, whose body of work spanned over half a century. He is widely considered one of the greatest actors of all time, and was named the fourth Greatest Male Star of All Time by the American Film Institute.

As a young sex symbol, he is best known for his roles as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire and Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront, both directed by Elia Kazan in the early 1950s. In middle age, his well-known roles include his Academy Award-winning performance as Vito Corleone in The Godfather, Colonel Walter Kurtz in Apocalypse Now, both directed by Francis Ford Coppola, an Academy Award-nominated performance as Paul in Last Tango in Paris, and as Jor-El, the Kryptonian father of Superman in Superman, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, and (posthumously) Superman Returns.

Brando was also an activist, lending his presence to many issues, including the American Civil Rights and American Indian Movements.
