“He's right or wrong. There's a really strong code in here and he's sending a message and... and he's trying to even out the playing field, which comes from his history, which, when you get into a Quentin Tarantino movie, and you get in... you get to embrace one of the characters, you soon learn that he's got backstory from the inception of the guy.”
―Brad Pitt on his role[1][2]

Background[]

Brad Pitt was born on 18th of December 1963 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, to William Alvin Pitt, the proprietor of a trucking company, and Jane Etta (née Hillhouse), a school counselor. The family soon moved to Springfield, Missouri, where he lived together with his younger siblings, Douglas Mitchell (born 1966) and Julie Neal (born 1969). He attended Kickapoo High School and became the member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.

Pitt attended Kickapoo High School, where he was a member of the golf, swimming and tennis teams. He participated in the school's Key and Forensics clubs, in school debates, and in musicals. Following his graduation from high school, Pitt enrolled in the University of Missouri in 1982, majoring in journalism with a focus on advertising. As graduation approached, Pitt did not feel ready to settle down. He loved films—"a portal into different worlds for me"—and, since films were not made in Missouri, he decided to go to where they were made. Two weeks short of completing the coursework for a degree, Pitt left the university and moved to Los Angeles, where he took acting lessons and worked odd jobs. He has named his early acting heroes as Gary Oldman, Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke.
