Its really come to my attention that the crazy people in our society are often the best ones. This is a man I can really relate to in my life because of his astounding approach to the art of acting. He left the world of broadway in 1949 after years of being in badly reviewed plays to pursue a career of acting on the screen. He got a lot of bad criticism from theatre directors because they feel he wasted his talent when he wanted to pursue a different career. Little did they know, it was the beginning of something big... His approach to acting changed the way we see film acting forever, and even actors today don't match up to the standards he introduced. He was completely devoid of melodrama and acted with REAL to life emotions that you can feel through the film prints. He has such a presence in each of the scenes he is in. This was also a man who completely ignored public opinion and journalists to pursue something he loved to do. That is what I consider a TRUE actor.
