Citizen Kane was a role Orson Welles played as Charles Foster Kane, which marked the beginning of a new trend in acting art. He acted as the ambitious, complex newspaper magnate and brought a very interesting combination of power, vulnerability, and unpredictability to this character. Welles's interpretation of Kane covered decades, following the tragic downfall of a man who was full of promise and vision. It is his deep, resonant voice and commanding presence that inhabit the character to make Kane one of cinema's most iconic and multifaceted characters earning Welles critical acclaim that remains valid to this day.
