Many years ago, I had the unexpected pleasure of being in an actor's workshop with Mr. Brando directing. I can say unequivocally that he was a gentleman of the highest order. He was well-spoken, intelligent, and a bit shy! At the closing of the workshop, he unexpectedly invited the entire class up to his home atop Mulholland Drive. He had a reputation for going out of his way to support up and coming actors. I still have the highest respect and affection for this lovely man. May he rest in eternal peace!!

He was so spot -on and intuitive in his observations that, even now (over a half -century later!) the disinformation apparatus and extremist elements in this country are breaking their necks and working overtime in a desperate bid to discredit/ marginalize the man and deny/ minimalize the things that he stood for as is the case with many of the brave in our society who dare to speak truth to power! ! !

Marlon Brando: not only one of thespian history’s finest actors in the English language, but also a gentlemen who presented his views with quiet fortitude and respectfulness to those he spoke to and spoke of. Carson gave him some space and was a kindred spirit. Pure class.

This is the first time I’m hearing about his character. Wow ! What a package of brilliance and conscience.

The man possessed a truly tremendous rhetorical gift. It made him a transcendant actor and, as here demonstrated, an impassioned and persuasive speaker. I am in awe of the nearly perfect flow of his words, rarely broken by "uh" or "er", and penetrating deep into the awareness of the listener. A genius!

Marlon Brando still affects people every day when they watch his films and suddenly become entranced by his beauty, swagger, immense sexual power, phenomenally interesting and humane approach to his roles and just his sensitive essence. He was so lovely and also he was a damaged guy in so many ways. But he gave what he had and what he had still impacts people, especially today in a world with new scary crises like mass shootings and economic inequities, as we lose the American dream, any artistic excellence, our human connection to each other or even the promise of a better world. We can look back and say someone tried to do good with the most sincere intention. He is and always will be a part of my soul, my artistic and human journey and I thank God for him nearly every day.

Very interesting to see how relevant his words are still today. It feels as if he predicted the future in 2021. God bless Marlon ❤️

I basically clicked the video by accident and had no idea what it was about, but for some reason I kept watching. The more Brando spoke, the more I realized he was saying what I've always hoped somebody would say. The crazy part is, he said it more than 50 years ago, and the fact that things are still very bad shows how little people are willing to change. It's relevatory and heartbreaking. A glimpse of hope from the past, for a better future.

Brando is a timeless character. I have wactched his interviews and seen that he doesnt care much about movies and defies hollywood. He behaved furious to many actors and film crew because he thaought it was the part of the hypocracy they were living in. When it comes to social issues he is unbreakable, he tells and stands up for anything he believes. And also Carson doesnt interrupt him, as he know a pure genious talks about a serious matter

Your comments and observations are so on -point: I agree with you whole -heartedly! Sadly, we have too few celebrities/ artists/ entertainers these days who are willing to - - as we used to say "put their money where mouth is" and have the guts, the integrity, and the force of character to speak truth to power at often great cost to their careers, their status, and their very lives and the lives of their families.

Lots of people are speaking on his appearance rather than hearing the message. This is powerful. Thank you Marlon for being part of the solution 💛

It is not quite fair to compare Brando, arguably (as Carson pointed out) the greatest of his generation, to average celebrities. In any event, a lot of celebs are smart, but it is true that you will not see them talking on TV in this way. The media now will not generally let anything political rise above the level of propaganda, as this did. They are determined to control the message, and free thought and expression are simply not permitted. They probably would not even let somebody as unpredictable as Brando work in the industry anymore, let alone put him on a talk show.

Beautifully said.

Brando was truly one of a kind. He was so incredibly talented, and off-screen he showed so much passion for marginalized groups. He freely gave of his time, and felt deeply about his causes and did the best he could. Perhaps a bit of a prima donna, he was tough to interview, though, and I think he became tougher as he got older. If you're a Brando fan and haven't seen One Eyed Jacks, it's worth checking out. It's the only film Brando directed, as he stars alongside Karl Malden, Ben Johnson, and Slim Pickins. Great flick.

One who was very thoughtful when it came to American Indians, Black Americans, and he was always searching for truth. He did not want his Polynesian children to come to CA because he felt it would chew them up & spit them out & they didn’t listen & so it was, sadly. His thoughts were more along the line of Buddhism. I’m glad to see this & I wish I could’ve met those 2 men. Thanks for this upload! 🙏🏼

rivolinho My sentiments exactly. I know someone will take offense (what else is new?) but it seems to be a generational thing. JC, and most of his guests, grew up in a very different America. Almost every man was a veteran of WW2 or the Korean War, and mostly likely grew up during the Great Depression. All these events not only made men of boys overnight but it created a desperate need for humor. Starting with DL, and all the rest after him, the hosts of today did not have to suffer or sacrifice like their fathers and grandfathers did and did not have to struggle on a daily basis. To me they’re just perpetual children ( with huge bank accounts).

When you think of chat how hosts like Parkinson and the many fantastic raconteurs he had on over the years, many grew up in abject poverty before or during the war and many actually served in the war or at least did national service. These people knew hardship very young and their full lives made for great conversations. I'm not one to glorify the military nor someone who thinks we should all do a stint in it, but the early 20th century, as rough as it was just made for far more real and rounded human beings than, as you say, the perpetual kids we see nowadays.
