"Actor"?  It's a dog according to google:



There is a certain resemblance...

What a cutie!  He does come up as an 'actor' on IMDb, I just didn't look at his page.  Anyway, he's adorable, I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't snatched him.  :)

"S" is Snatch (2000)

Brad plays Mickey O'Neil in this film.



IMDB: Guy Richie's follow up to Lock Stock and Two Smoking barrels is every bit as astonishing as its predecessor. The humour is better and I have never seen people in a cinema laugh as loud and as frequently as they did here. Vinnie Jones plays a similar role as Big Chris, here as Bullet Tooth Tony. His appearance is limited but boy does he make an impact. Even when he is not on screen there is much to savour from Dennis Farina as Avi and a trio of pawnbrokers who are sent to rob a bookies. Brad Pitt sheds his movie start personna and preforms impressively as an Irish gypsie. Unlike Lock Stock.. the humour will appeal to all nationalities. However they mind some slang expressions such as Pikey and blag hard to understand. Good preformances, fantastic characters, razor sharp diologue, expert direction and camera work and brilliant humour, Snatch will make you laugh more than any other movie this year. See it now.

"T" is True Romance (1993)

Brad Pitt played Floyd in "True Romance."


From IMDb:  This Quentin Tarantino-scripted film uses the theme of "boy meets girl." Here, though, boy meets girl, boy kills girl's pimp, couple takes pimp's coke, and bad boys chase couple. And Elvis is their Guardian Angel....

"W" is Without Evidence (1995)
« Reply #4765 on: August 21, 2008, 11:49:20 am »
Angelina plays the role of Jodie Swearingen in this film.



IMDB: For independent cinema viewers, here is a super-realistic film touted as a true story. This production contains no special effects or actors who were famous at this time. One actress, Angeline Jolie as Jodie, became famous after this film and has starred in roles including Laura Croft, Tomb Raider. Despite the small budget, this film sports a down-to-earth plot with plenty of detailed twists.

Without special effects, this artistic film is suited mainly for the minority-viewing public that enjoys a complicated murder mystery without intervention from the supernatural or Hollywood's frequent sequence of improbable events. Prosecuting attorneys, and fans of murder trials, should see this film.

Wildcard "X" is Legends of the Fall (1994)
« Reply #4766 on: August 21, 2008, 12:07:53 pm »
Brad starred in this with Anthony Hopkins, Aidan Quinn and Julia Ormond.

Plot:  Epic tale of three brothers and their father living in the remote wilderness of 1900s USA and how their lives are affected by nature, history, war, and love.

The soundtrack by James Horner is one of my all-time favorites.  The cinematography is stunning (Alberta and BC).  Oh, and Brad looks pretty good in this one.

"Z" is Z: A Zombie Musical (2007)
« Reply #4768 on: August 21, 2008, 03:35:54 pm »
"Z: A Zombie Musical" featured Ken Edwards, who appeared in "The Life of David Gale" with Kevin Spacey, who appeared in "Se7en" with Brad Pitt.


From the film's website: 

Z is the story of a young woman who gets comically transformed into a Zombie. Our heroine is taken in by a group of the Living Undead who inhabit a modern-day suburban neighborhood north of Austin called "Zomburbia", where she's taught the Zombie ways.

She soon sets off on a road trip and meets various other interesting Undead characters...while along the way learning to Release Her Inner Zombie.

Oh, and it's a MUSICAL!

Z features singing/dancing Zombies, utterly gratuitous naked-osity, Zombie Nuns and Priests on roller skates, and, of course, a Zombie Dog!

What else would you expect from the sophomoric, brilliantly evil mind of JOHN McLEAN--who previously foisted the silly, feature-length mockumentary, THE PERFECT MAN CONTEST, upon an unsuspecting world?!
