Do More!

The Oscar-winning actor, Marlon Brando who brought the techniques of method acting to prominence, was nominated for the significant role in The Godfather, Vito Corleone. At the same time he was refused to get the role by the president of Paramount Picture (Brando was not interested in Hollywood's principles). Being begged by Coppola, the president let him get a chance but only on difficult conditions. One of condition was that "he does the movie for nothing if he does the screen test"!!! Coppola agreed with him and made contacts with Brando. Brando himself suggested to do some make up tests. At the middle of screen test, he saw the Italian cheese which was bought by Coppola. All of a sudden, he started stuffing them in his mouth, taking his hair, and putting shoe polish on it. Finally, he put Kleenex in his mouth! Becoming similar to a bull dog, he astonished everyone at the scene. After winning the best actor Academy Award for Vito Corleone, who cares that he was neglected by Paramount Pictures?
