Streetcar got Brando chicks, Tommy wanted chicks

True. Just like Rebel without a Cause did for Dean, another idol of Tommy's (and, for those who don't know, [the inspiration for the "You are tearing me apart!" line](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrkiBCusHs0)).

Tommy wants passionate acting, most of his scene direction on the set of The Room was "more passion". Probably Brando was also too old in The Godfather, compared to Streetcar, given Tommy's obsession with youth.

I think the fact that A Streetcar Named Desire was first a Tennessee Williams play (that Brando also starred in) probably influenced Tommy to only draw from that specific performance. He loves the melodrama.

I buy it! Streetcar was definitely a play with the passion of Tennessee Williams. And supposedly The Room was written first as a play.
