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.

My biggest influences as an actor were Marlon Brando, and I really dug James Dean.

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

James Dean was always a tortured soul.

When I was in high school in the '50s you were supposed to be an Elvis Presley, a James Dean, a Marlon Brando or a Kingston Trio type in a button-down shirt headed for the fraternities at Stanford or Cal.

Sometimes you wanna be James Bond, and sometimes you wanna be Marlon Brando until you realize you can't be either!
