Early Life & Education
Brad Pitt was born on December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, to William Alvin Pitt and Jane Etta Pitt. His family later moved to Springfield, Missouri, where he was raised. Pitt attended Kickapoo High School, where he was involved in sports, student government, and theater.
After graduating from high school, Pitt attended the University of Missouri, where he majored in journalism and advertising. However, he dropped out of college just two weeks before graduation and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting.
In Los Angeles, Pitt began taking acting lessons and working odd jobs to support himself. He made his television debut in 1987 with a guest appearance on the show “Another World” and landed his first film role in the horror movie “Cutting Class” (1989). While his early work was relatively minor, it helped him establish himself in the industry and led to more significant roles in the future.
Career
Brad Pitt’s career began to take off in the early 1990s with his breakout role in the film “Thelma & Louise” (1991). He quickly became known for his good looks and charm, and was dubbed a “sex symbol” by the media. He continued to build his career with roles in films such as “A River Runs Through It” (1992), “Legends of the Fall” (1994), and “Seven” (1995).
In 1997, Pitt starred in “The Devil’s Own” with Harrison Ford, and later that year he appeared in “Seven Years in Tibet.” In 1999, he starred in the cult classic “Fight Club,” directed by David Fincher, which has since become a pop culture phenomenon. Throughout the early 2000s, Pitt continued to work on major film projects, including “Ocean’s Eleven” (2001) and its sequels, “Troy” (2004), and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” (2005), which is where he famously met his future wife, Angelina Jolie.
In recent years, Pitt has continued to work on high-profile films, including “Moneyball” (2011), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor, “12 Years a Slave” (2013), “The Big Short” (2015), and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” (2019), for which he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
In addition to his acting career, Pitt is also a successful film producer. He founded his production company, Plan B Entertainment, in 2001, and has produced several critically acclaimed films, including “The Departed” (2006), “12 Years a Slave” (2013), and “Moonlight” (2016), all of which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.
