Brad Pitt, born in 1963 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, initially studied journalism at the University of Missouri. He left college just short of graduation to pursue acting in Los Angeles, working various odd jobs before earning small TV roles.
His breakthrough came with a brief but memorable part in “Thelma & Louise” (1991). Over time, Pitt became one of Hollywood’s most recognizable leading men, celebrated for his versatility and iconic on-screen presence.
Besides acting, Pitt co-founded the Make It Right Foundation to build sustainable, affordable homes in areas like New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He also supports various humanitarian causes worldwide, emphasizing health, education, and environmental conservation.
Brad Pitt Movies
His first film role was a background part in a film called “Hunk.” Brad can also be seen for a brief moment in the background of the 1987 Kevin Costner movie “No Way Out.”
After various guest appearances and minor roles, Pitt gained notoriety for his supporting role in “Thelma and Louise.” In 1992, he co-starred in the Academy-Award-winning film “A River Runs Through It.”
Pitt received tremendous praise for his performance in the highly successful 1995 crime drama “Seven,” which grossed $327 million worldwide. Pitt received a Golden Globe award as well as an Academy Award nomination for his next film, “12 Monkeys.”
Pitt’s dedication to his roles has taken him up the Alps, in the boxing ring, and in the depths of startlingly accurate accents. Other noteworthy Brad Pitt films include:
- Ocean’s Eleven
- Troy
- Babel
- Mr. and Mrs. Smith
- Fight Club
- World War Z
- Moneyball

He’s also set to star in and produce a Formula One racing film directed by Joseph Kosinski for Apple TV. He earned a $30 million fee for this project, a career-high without including royalties.
Plan B:
In November 2001, Brad Pitt co-founded Plan B Entertainment with his wife at the time, Jennifer Aniston, super producer Brad Grey and several other executives. Brad bought Jennifer out of the company in the wake of their divorce for an undisclosed amount.
In October 2022, it was revealed that Plan B was in the process of selling a 60% stake to French media conglomerate Mediawan. The deal reportedly valued Plan B at $300 million and was paid for with 50% cash and 50% stock in Mediawan. In other words, at the time of the transaction, Mediawan paid $180 million, comprised of $90 million in stock and $90 million in cash, to own 60% of Plan B.
Assuming Brad previously owned 60% of the company, he either took the full amount for himself and no longer owns any of Plan B, or (more likely) he sold roughly half of his personal shares and shared the windfall with his partners.
As of this writing, Plan B movies have generated $3 billion in global box office revenue on $1 billion in total production budgets. Plan B’s most successful movie in terms of worldwide box office revenue is “World War Z,” which earned $530 million globally. Its second-highest-performing movie is “Troy,” which earned $483 million.
