...addition to choosing scripts based on his own internal logic, Depp decided that once he got jobs, he wouldn't worry too much about keeping them. "All the amazing people that I've worked with--Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman," he says, "have told me consistently: Don't compromise. Do your work, and if what you're giving is not what they want, you have to be prepared to walk away." Or get canned. Depp came perilously close to being fired from Pirates of the Caribbean when his melding of Keith Richards and Pepe Le Pew freaked...
...treasurable series of compact character descriptions. Oscar Wilde's lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, claimed to have written most of the legendary wit's best lines: "Of course Douglas had quite lost his looks and I thought that must have been a great tragedy for him," writes Gielgud. Marlon Brando, filming Julius Caesar in 1952, is "a funny, intense, egocentric boy of 27, with a flat nose and bullet head ? he has very little humor and seems quite unaware of anything except the development of his own evident talents."

Irrfan Khan plays the violent but vulnerable Maqbool, a killer ultimately consumed by his conscience, and it's a performance that fulfills the promise Khan demonstrated in 2001's The Warrior.

You're no doubt also curious about Eszterhas' alleged death threat from Michael Ovitz, and Marlon Brando's feces collection, and Elizabeth Berkley's exhibitionism on the set of Showgirls. There's a large amount of celebrity dirt in Hollywood Animal, and much of it is rich, loamy, high-quality dirt. Go ahead. It's O.K. to roll around...
...wonderful thing about him," Elia Kazan once said of his greatest actor, Marlon Brando, "is the ambivalence--between a soft, yearning, girlish side and a dissatisfaction that is violent and can be dangerous." Danger was the business of the tireless and insinuating Kazan in the 1940s and '50s, when he was something no one before or since has been: simultaneously America's leading theatrical (A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman) and movie (On the Waterfront) director. He was not so much a great imagist as a great listener to, manipulator and appreciator of, the sometimes dissonant music...
