Disregarding his acting capabilities, or whether he indeed had any acting skills.
More the man himself.
Apparently, he was very supportive of the Civil Rights Movement in the early 1960's. But he also launched an attack against the jewish oligarchy in Hollywood in the late 1970's.

Brando. Marlon Brando. As Johnny, the original bad-ass.
The BRMC - Black Rebel Motor Club - rolls into town, disrupting a "square" motor cycle race. The gang of hell-raisers taunts and trips up the normal racers, flirts chauvinistically with the women, and finally gets ousted by a very tall cop with a no-nonsense demeanor. But one of the pugs swipes the second place trophy to give to big man Brando. His first line slips my mind, but I do recall how the audience all laughed with genuine mirth at his high-pitched little voice, at the incongruity of that voice coming out of such a tough puss.
Marlon Brando wears leather and sneers like no one else can in the original biker drama, as a motorcycle gang terrorizes a small town until their violence turns member against member.
A classic line: one of the young women in the little town says,
"Black Rebel Motor Club? What are you rebelling against?"
And Brando says, "What have you got?"

He also begged Simon Wiesenthal for forgiveness. He actually made some comments in 1996 that were truthful about Jews and landed him in hot water with the Chosens. From the ADL's website:
http://www.adl.org/PresRele/ASUS_12/2708_12.asp
"New York, NY, April 8, 1996...The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today called actor Marlon Brando's remarks about Jews in Hollywood "outrageous and offensive."
Reacting to Marlon Brando's comments on "Larry King Live," on Friday, April 5, that Jews run Hollywood and exploit stereotypes of minorities, but never of Jews, Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:
It was shocking to hear Marlon Brando, the acclaimed actor and champion of civil rights, invoke the anti-Semitic canard that "Hollywood is run by Jews, it is owned by Jews..." and blame Jews for exploiting stereotypes of minorities, "but we never saw the kike because they know perfectly well that's where you draw the wagons around."
His apology here:
"Wednesday, April 10, 1996
Brando apologizes for remarks
LOS ANGELES (CA) -- Marlon Brando apologized for anti-Semitic comments about Jews in Hollywood and plans to make a public statement at the Museum of Tolerance, a rabbi said.
Brando called the center and "expressed his remorse," Rabbi Marvin Hier said Tuesday. Brando will "make a public statement regarding this matter" Friday at the Simon Wiesenthal Center's museum, Hier said.
The 72-year-old Brando was harshly criticized by Jewish groups after remarks last week in an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live."
"Hollywood is run by Jews. It is owned by Jews and they should have a greater sensitivity about the issue of people who are suffering," Brando said.
"He told me he was an early supporter of Israel," said Hier. "I told him, 'Marlon, I never thought you were an anti-Semite, but the words you used on Larry King was music to the ears of racists and bigots all over the world."'
The reclusive star of "The Godfather" and "A Streetcar Named Desire" mentioned on the show the various stereotypes that he said were depicted in films.
"We've seen the nigger, and the greaseball. We've seen the chink. We've seen the slit-eyed dangerous Jap. We have seen the wily Filipino. We've seen everything. But we never saw the kike because they knew perfectly well that that's where you draw the wagons around," Brando said.
"I think it's a good thing but I'm not sure it goes far enough," Abraham H. Foxman, director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, said of Brando's planned visit.
"He's not a kid going to a museum. He's an adult who's had these views for 25 years," Foxman said from his New York office.
"If he really has remorse, he ought to go see his friendLarry King and tell everyone on the air," he added.
Brando's Friday news conference at the Museum of Tolerance will accomplish the goal of reaching a world audience, Hier said."

Brando was also an extreme liberal, who was friends with Jesse Jackson!! He was a great actor however especially in the Godfather and Apocolypse (sp) Now.

Yeah, I remember when that went down. Here's a Hollywood veteran who had been working for the system for decades. When Brando says Hollywood is a Jewish Industry........it is.
Either way, he paid for insulting The Chosenites.
He aslo liked to breed with shit-skins.

[QUOTE=gunter88]Hmmm lets see... while he was a good actor in his earlier career (A Streetcar Named Desire) - not nearly so good however as "the greatest" as is being touted now that he's a corpse. He hung around with faggots in Provincetown and admitted to being bi in his autobiography, he also fucked Tahitians, Niggers, Indians, and had 9 mostly mongrel offspring.
He must have thought he really was Fletcher Christian. Sick fucker, I think he even named one of his mutts "Christian".
