　　For Hollywood actor Brad Pitt, watching films as a kid was like going through doors into different worlds. Born on December 18, 1963, in Oklahoma, he was so amazed by movies that he decided to drop out of the University of Missouri to move to Los Angeles. There, during the mid-1980s, Pitt took acting lessons and worked at various jobs. It did not take long for the young actor to find roles in movies and on TV. His first parts in movies came in 1987. However, these roles were small, and his name was not listed in the credits3.
