I don't think that he hated being an actor, he just hated all of the BS surrounding it. I think that he enjoyed most of his life and I am sad to see him go. He was a giant, larger than life in the acting world and I was a huge fan.
I have never done it before, but I am tempted to bring flowers to his gate right now, before it turns into a circus.
I have some good Brando stories that I will share later, have to go to work now. Anyone who cares should read his autobiography, it's actually quite good IMO.
