My respect for Brando just went way up. It's refreshing to see a celebrity being honest about his profession. It's a job, they aren't deserving of hero worship, there are more important things in life. Acing is no more a "noble" profession than the other professions he mentioned. In fact, it's far less "noble" than many other professions. One of the reasons I don't like talk show hosts is they fawn over celebrities like they are so much better than other people. I call BS. I love Brando's desire for authenticity in life.

All the greatest actors are the ones who looked at acting as a craft or a trade, not high-minded elitist art, or a vehicle for fame and status. Paul Newman, Kirk Douglas, to name a few.

Dick is so brave to ask the question we all wanted to know. He is amazing.

It’s really amazing how Hollywood contrived this illusion of being a “star,” as a means of, of course, selling tickets. It irritates me that I have bought into that idea. Brando is right- acting is just a job! I love him, and I admired that he spoke out against the way Native Americans were treated.

Rarely do we see such sincerity and humility from people in showbiz. I really like that Marlon pointed out that acting is just a job to pay the bills; that is deadpan honesty. FYI, I'm not saying it isn't an art, but even a painter has to paint to make ends meet.

Just proves that regardless of how you see things it will never change how others perceive it.

Funny watching DC try to do a "normal" celebrity interview and Marlon quick to shut him down...just wants to talk about real life ...Dick should have just gone with it ...would have been a much better interview!

Amlesh Baichu I think you’re missing the point. He was “acting” that way for a reason. He was trying to make the interviewer realize that the subjects he was interested in were not pertinent, therefore he acted that way. He wanted to talk about the rights of the Native Americans and how Hollywood always portrayed minorities under a very unflattering light. That’s the reason why he refused to take the Oscar. I’ve seen the entire interview and that was THE subject. Whenever they’re talking about that he’s not “acting” like a strange eccentric but seems much more engaged and “normal”.

I totally agree. He figured out the 'mystique' people wanted to see and just did that for the rest of his life, and a lot of people were fooled into thinking he was some kind of god, but he was extremely inconsistent. He had a few great roles but was one of those guys who clearly just showed up for the paycheck on a lot of films, and sometimes he was really phoning it in.

A cultural icon. A culteral dynasty. He influenced Elvis, Dylan, and an entire youth that followed. No person contributed more or compares. A man who struggles and had sensitivities and vulnerablitites that other actors and rolls didn't emphasize prior to Brando. . Culturally, Brando importance is incomparable in post war America.

Slightly reminds me of how Bruce Lee would shatter the frame in his interview and describe how his inner being was the real host.And he brought people a new awareness on how to become free from the classical mess.Great to see a genuine genius who is also a human being.

Ask him about his house keeper

It's interesting that astrologically Marlon Brando's sun sign is Aries the Ram and his Ascendant is Sagittarius, the half-man, half horse. These two are fire signs, and the other fire sign is Leo the Lion. Sitting there, Brando has the charisma of a lion, he's the sun emitting its rays. Like a cat, his attention might go anywhere at any time, to a piece of lint on his trousers, to eye shadow on the table, to looking directly into Dick Cavett's eyes. He notices everything. Though calm and soft-spoken, you feel he could spring violently into action in a second. He exudes danger and his gaze was so strong, he had to lower his eyes in many interviews to avoid overheating the scene with his direct stare. Supposedly, no one could beat Brando in a staring contest, but he preferred not to look eye-to-eye for too long, since it made others uncomfortable.

He's right I've seen so many well known actors give the same performance in countless films.

Brando's vibe is deep.

This was the beginning when actors thought that their narrow, specific craft catapulted their knowledge and wisdom above and beyond the common man, and that it was a treat for us to have to listen to their pontifications. Brando’s value was strictly limited in scope, like the rest of us in our own corners of the world. Somehow, this one single event opened the floodgates...and now you can’t watch a single awards show today without a political sermon.

He literally says right in the video that there’s nothing special about being an actor. If you were in a position to bring attention to something that you thought was very important, you wouldn’t do it? Why not? When people get annoyed at celebrities for getting political, it’s not because they’re against them being political. It’s because they’re on the other side of the issue ideologically. For example, conservatives get angry at celebrities talking badly about Trump. They say it’s not their place to be political. But when Kanye West wears a MAGA hat, he’s a brave individual and they all praise him. Shouldn’t they be just as against Kanye if it’s simply about opposing celebrities being political?

Say what you want or think what you want about him but This man kept it real. Method acting was his trademark for a reason. He also reminds me of my late grandfather a bit.

Acting is absolutely an art. Just watch 10 different actors play the same scene for proof.

I think he avoided it because he was trying to keep acting a 'natural' process for him, and really didn't have anything to say about it because it's more of a 'doing' thing, but I don't necessarily think that's brilliant. He had a very inconsistent career full of inconsistent movies, petulant behavior, refusing to read scripts, wanted to make it all up as he went, and not everything turns out good that way. It is very clear on this page how many people only know of Brando's handful of 'great' roles, and don't know about his substantial body of ok-to-bad movies and roles.

Why is the 2020 brain so refreshed by Dick Cavett?

And in the end, food he valued.
