* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: One of the core elements of the Brando acting style is that he projected a performance through body language and the tone of voice more than just the words on the page. This created the MumblingBrando parody but it was revolutionary in how it made his performances feel imminently more naturalistic next to actors accustomed to using a rigid posture and strict enunciation.
