Although approaching his 30th birthday, in which 1953 film did Marlon Brando play the part of the teenage leader of a motorcycle gang?
Marlon Brando Academy Award nomination for reprising the role of Stanley Kowalski in the 1951 film adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play "A Streetcar Named Desire", a role that he originated successfully on Broadway. He received further praise for his performance as Terry Malloy in "On the Waterfront", and his portrayal of the rebellious motorcycle gang leader Johnny Strabler in "The Wild One" proved to be a lasting image in popular culture. Brando received Academy Award nominations for playing Emiliano Zapata in "Viva Zapata!"; Mark Antony in Joseph L.
