After dropping out from University of Missouri where he majored in journalism, Brad Pitt hit the road to California to become an actor. After months of failed auditions and part-time jobs as a refrigerator deliveryman, limo driver and restaurant promoter, he appeared in a few episodes of the soap opera Dallas. He landed a few small roles in movies like No Man's Land and Too Young to Die but it wasn't until 1991 when he had his first big roles in Thelma & Lewis, A River Runs Through It and Interview with the Vampire. In the following years, Pitt became one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood starring in movies like Legends of the Fall, Seven, Fight Club, Ocean's Eleven, Troy, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Pitt was married to actress Jennifer Aniston and has 5 children with actress Angelina Jolie: Maddox, Zahara, and Pax, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne.
