shareBurt Reynolds did this episode of the TWILIGHT ZONE called "The Bard". Where he does this dead on impression of Brando. And on top of that Burt is kind of making fun of Brando of his method acting and wanting everything done on his terms. My guess is that Marlon can't take a joke.
BTW, Burt could pass for Brando's kid brother in this episode. The resemblance is remarkable.
BOO-YEAH!
I forgot how to do the link but here it is:

Here's another reason : Brando diss Reynold on the set of APOCALYPSE NOW :

A better question is who did Brando like? He said nasty things about a lot of celebrities - Burt Lancaster (he referred to him as "the trapeze artist"), Elvis, Sinatra, Dean, Clift, Chaplin. The only person he ever liked was probably Wally Cox.

Brando didn't hate Clift.It was quite the contrary.He said that they were on friendly terms and had a lot of respect for each other.One of the main reasons that he accepted to star in THE YOUNG LIONS was it because Clift was in it.
Brando also had a lot of affection for Dean whom he treated like his younger brother.He said he had a lot of potential but didn't want Dean to put him on a pedestal.
Brando also admired Chaplin(he called him a "peerless artist") but strongly disliked working with him because Chaplin was a "tyran" and too "old school" for his taste.
Brando thought Presley was overrated because he "stole" Rock'n'Roll from the Blacks.
And as for Sinatra,he strongly begun dislkiking him after he called him "Mr Mumbles" and was making fun of him with some members of the cast+crew(GUYS AND DOLLS,1955) behind his back.
Brando had actually a lot of friends in the industry : elia kazan,dean,clift,laurence olivier,maureen stapleton,karl malden,kim hunter,george englund,michael jackson,james baldwin,jean simmons,marilyn monroe,elizabeth taylor,harry belafonte,ossie davis,jack nicholson,warren beatty,...
I didn't say hate but he made a lot of disparaging comments about them. Didn't he refer to Dean as a "puppy dog" because he followed him around and didn't he refer to Clift as an alcoholic? He also said that Elvis died of a drug overdose, which if you look at his cause of death is factually inaccurate. No doubt Elvis was hooked on pills but Monroe and JFK took meth amphetamine shots. As for Jackson, didn't Marlon charge him $1 million to appear at his Madison Square Garden event back in 2001?

I can't believe it's a mystery as to why he didn't like Reynolds! Yes, yes, I know there's that whole Twilight Zone thing, but come on...did you see Burt Reynolds when he was younger? He was a DEAD RINGER for Brando. I can only imagine that having this imitator walking around Hollywood must have irritated him like hell.
