William Bradley Pitt was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma on December 18, 1963. Brad was raised in Springfield, Missouri, along with his two younger siblings. He studied journalism with a focus on advertising at the University of Missouri. He caught the acting bug in college and decided to relocate to Los Angeles. He dropped out of school just two weeks before finishing his degree and moved to California.
His first film role was as a background actor in the film Hunk. He can also be seen in the background of Kevin Costner’s 1987 film No Way Out. Pitt rose to prominence after a series of guest appearances and minor roles in Thelma and Louise before starring in the Academy Award-winning 1992 film A River Runs Through It. Pitt received widespread acclaim for his performance in the hugely successful crime drama Seven, which grossed $327 million worldwide in 1995. Pitt was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for his next film, 12 Monkeys.
Pitt’s commitment to his roles has led him up the Alps, into the boxing ring, and into the depths of startlingly accurate accents. Oceans Eleven, Troy, Babel, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Fight Club, World War Z, Moneyball, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood are among Pitt’s other notable films.
Pitt co-founded Plan B Entertainment with his then-wife, Jennifer Aniston, in November 2001. After their divorce, Brad bought Jennifer out of the company. Troy, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Departed, The Time Traveler’s Wife, Eat Pray Love, Moneyball, World War Z, Kick-Ass, 12 Years a Slave, and Ad Astra are just a few of the successful films produced by Plan B.
