I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.

I loved Marlon Brando: my favorite actor.

I think a lot of theater actors that were great, like Walken or Glenn Close, later became film actors.

The actors I admire are character actors.

Not disown my past or upbringing, but I'd admired American actors, really American movie star - particularly the rebel heroes of the '50s.

I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.

When I think of character actors, I think of Spencer Tracy; I think of Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall. When I was a young lad watching films, my eyes were on them - watching 'On the Waterfront,' my eyes are on Rod Steiger and Karl Malden, not on Brando.

When I grew into a teenager, I became obsessed with Marlon Brando, Montgomery Cliff, and James Dean.

I'm largely interested in people who are just great actors, and they're not necessarily hugely famous.

I love Marlon Brando and James Dean. That was when it was all about the star and the script. Nowadays, everything has to be action-packed.
