His performance of the birthday scene in "Streetcar Named Desire" was also very explosive.
Marlon is credited with changing the style of acting in America, from the theatrical (imitation of British theatre) to a more muted, natural style. Actually, I think Montgomery Cliff, who preceded Marlon, deserves some credit for the change in acting style, but Marlon took "natural" to a new level.
In his biography, Marlon Brando gives Stella full credit for the success of his acting career, while Stella said "I didn't teach Marlon acting, he already knew." I think what she meant is that she gave him the technique that released his talent, and the confidence to be authentic on stage.
Contrary to what most people believe, MB didn't practice "the method" (i.e. emotional memory) which came from Strasberg. Stella was strongly opposed to Strasberg's "method," and emphasized imagination, research of the character and the author's theme, and the part that I and many other actors were fascinated by was her teaching of "action," that choosing the right action (a STRONG verb) was the actor's art, and his main contribution to the play. "Find what you can do, and do it like Hercules." The scene you selected is the perfect example of that.
When I asked one of the actors who had been with Stella for five years, "what keeps you here?" He said, "I'm still trying to figure out what an action is." haha
