Marlon Brando is hands down one of the most legendary actors in US history. He was a
phenomenon that swept both pop culture, as well as the craft of acting. During his later years,
he held an acting class that was taped, and buried.
It has now been over a decade since the infamous class took place, and we got a hold of one of
the PA's that were there. We hope you enjoy Oscar McFarlane's telling of his experiences of the
workshop!
