Who would be your favourite actor/actress on the big screen?
For me personally, it would be none other than the great Marlon Brando, widely regarding by many as the most influential actor to ever grace Hollywood.
"Simply put, in film acting, there is before Brando, and there is after Brando. And they are like different worlds." Rick Lyman, in The New York Times (July 2, 2004)

From a Streetcar named Desire, The Waterfront, The Godfather, Superman, Apocalypse Now and a Last Tango in Paris, there are just so many roles in which his method acting shines.
Even in his obviously phoned-in roles though (such as The Island of Dr. Moreau), I find him pretty watchable.
He is just that good of an actor, and not just because he was incredibly handsome.

I find the man endlessly fascinating, not only as an actor, but also as a person.
From his legendary eating habits that would make even the biggest foodies among us gasp, to his behaviour on set, his box office demands (11% of Superman's box office, seriously?!!!), and his notable disdain for Hollywood itself, nothing abut his life is boring.

So, who would be your pick and why?
