BRAD PITT (Mickey) has emerged as one of the most prominent actors of his generation following such diverse performances in films such as "Fight Club," "Seven Years in Tibet," "Legends of the Fall," "Seven" and "Twelve Monkeys."
Pitt’s role as the seductive hitchhiker in Ridley Scott's "Thelma & Louise" first brought him national attention. He then went on to star as the psychopathic serial killer in "Kalifornia," the charismatic-but-doomed Paul Maclean in Robert Redford's "A River Runs Through It," and the bloodsucking Louis in Neil Jordan's "Interview With the Vampire."
Pitt has been nominated twice for a Golden Globe Award -- for his work as Tristan, the passionate, untamable brother in Tri-Star’s "Legends of the Fall" and for his co-starring role in Terry Gilliam’s "Twelve Monkeys." Pitt won the award for his performance in the later.
Up next for Pitt following "Snatch" is DreamWorks’ "The Mexican" co-starring Julia Roberts and James Gandolfini and directed by Gore Verbinski which is due out next March.
Currently filming "Spay Game" with director Tony Scott for Universal Pictures, Pitt is co-starring with Robert Redford. After "Spy Game" is completed, he will begin Warner Bros.’ "Ocean 11," an ensemble cast including George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Matt Damon and directed by Steven Soderbergh.
Born in Shawnee, Oklahoma and growing up in Springfield, Missouri, Pitt attended the University of Missouri at Columbia where he majored in Journalism with a focus on advertising. Right before graduation, he moved to Los Angeles to study advertising and graphic design, but instead began to pursue an acting career, studying with Roy London. Soon thereafter, he began securing roles in various television projects, including the Fox series, "Glory Days," HBO's "The Image" and the critically-acclaimed movie of the week, "Too Young To Die."
On film, Pitt has also starred in "Johnny Suede," which won the 1992 Golden Leopard Award for Best Picture at the Locarno Film Festival, Ralph Bakshi's "Cool World," Tony Scott's "True Romance," "Sleepers," "The Devil’s Own," Jean Jacques Annaud’s "Seven Years in Tibet," Marty Brest’s "Meet Joe Black" and last year’s "Fight Club" reuniting him with director David Fincher.
