Contestant #3: Marlon Brando

Not:

But:

Marlon Brando is considered by many to be the greatest actor of all time. Studying the Stanislavksi System of acting, when he first appeared in Streetcar Named Desire his talent and style revolutionised the movie world.

Nominated for 8 Oscars, he won two, although, in a controvesial move, he officially turned one of them down in protest of the way Native Americans were depicted on screen.

As far as his personal life, Marlo Brando was a bad boy and according to some biographers shagged anything that moved. He has admitted to having a very long term affair with Marilyn Monroe, as well as Laurence Olivier.
