William Bradley Pitt was born on December 18th, 1963 in Oklahoma. He grew up in Springfield, Missouri and has two siblings. He was two credits short of graduating the University of Missouri when he left for California to pursue acting.
Pitt made his film debut in Cutting Class, but what made him a household name was his portrayal of a hitchhiker in the 1991 hit Thelma & Louise. He went on to star in many more popular movies including Interview with the Vampire (1994), Se7en (1995), Meet Joe Black (1998), and Ocean's Eleven (2002) and its sequels.
Pitt has six children with longtime girlfriend Angelina Jolie, three biological and three adopted from various countries. He is also the founder of Make it Right, a large-scale redevelopment project focused on building green, affordable housing in Katrina-ravaged New Orleans.
