Tommy Wiseau has almost certainly seen Rebel Without A Cause. I bring this up because Dean's petulant, moody performance was so natural it was disruptive because it was so unlike what acting was in a big picture of the time. Sam Fuller could get away with this kind of acting, but he wasn't doing big pictures for WB. However, in a movie now it looks beyond stagey (see Wiseau's homage).

Read The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero. Yes, Tommy has seen Rebel.

Repeatedly.

(And even then, his "YOU ARE TEARING ME APAHT, LISA!!" almost didn't get filmed because he couldn't keep the line straight.)
