William Bradley Pitt acted in plays throughout school and university. He left college without a degree to become a professional actor. When he first arrived in LA, he worked odd jobs such as dressing up in a chicken suit for a fast food chain. His big break came in 1991 when he starred in Thelma & Louise. He has proven his acting versatility in roles as an Irish Traveller in Snatch and a Nazi-scalper in Inglourious Basterds.
