Certainly not to me --- so I don't really have much interest in what he had to say about the subject. Most Hollywood actors who are any good end up on the stage --- John Malkovich makes movies to suppliment his stage work and his studio --- The movies pay his bills. He also happens to be one of the best movie actors.

Brando was a Star -- that is different from acting. To me Brando was one of the most overrated actors in the industry.

Most real actors prefer the stage -- which isn't to say that film acting is easy but film acting also lets you do 300 takes to meet the director's vision...it's no-pressure compared to the stage - and bad actors and bad performances can be altered in the editing room pieced together until you have something.

I think those actors who are in it for the art and not just the money will agree that the stage is the palce to be.
