Filmography:

It is unbelievable that an actor of Brad Pitt’s stature has switched to being a producer, mainly, now. Despite this slight career shift, Brad Pitt Oscar win came in 2019, only. This was the first time the American bombshell had won an Academy Award and it came in his role as a stunt double in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

He began making a name for his acting skills with his roles in Thelma & Louise and A River Runs Through It before landing his first major nomination in the Golden Globes for his epic performance in Legends of the Fall in 1994. This was the start of a glorious career for Brad Pitt as he was cast for David Fincher’s thriller Se7en in 1995 starring Kevin Spacey and Morgan Freeman. In the same year, his role as a mental patient in the science fiction film 12 Monkeys landed him another Academy Award nomination for Supporting Actor as he won his first Golden Globe in the same category.

Mainly, though, his career took off with his role as a soap salesman Tyler Durden in Fincher’s Fight Club, for which he had to learn taekwondo, boxing and grappling. The film has gone on to achieve cult status despite initially being a commercial disappointment. Brad Pitt also starred alongside George Clooney in the Ocean’s Trilogy. He has, since, featured in Troy, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and then earning himself another Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of an eponymous man who ages in reverse in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
