About this listen

n the continuum of screen acting, certain performers transcend their filmographies to actually change how the craft itself is practiced. Marlon Brando's explosive naturalism in the 1950s shattered theatrical conventions. Robert De Niro's transformative immersion in the 1970s pushed the boundaries of method acting. And across four decades of American cinema, Gene Hackman quietly revolutionized screen performance through a distinctive approach that continues to resonate and influence actors today, long after his retirement.
