In an interview with David Letterman, Christopher Reeve criticized Marlon Brando for his performance in Superman. He accused the acting legend of "phoning in" his Superman performance; of not really trying or caring at all about the performance. In a March 1982 interview on NBC's Late Night with David Letterman (1982), unearthed by Heat Vision, the late Superman actor said he was disappointed with his experience with Brando, saying the Oscar-winning actor who played his onscreen father, Jor-El, was only in it for the money - and it showed. "I don't say this to be vicious, but I don't worship at the altar of Marlon Brando, because I feel he's copped out in a certain way," Reeve told Letterman. "What happened is the press loved him whether he was good, bad or indifferent; that people just thought he was an institution no matter what he did, so he doesn't care anymore." Reeve said, in his opinion, Brando could have been a great beacon to younger actors, such as himself, but he threw in the towel. "I just think it would be sad to be 53, or whatever he is, and not give a damn, that's all," Reeve told Letterman.
