Brad Pitt is well known for many things: his success as an actor, his success in landing Jennifer Aniston as wife, his divorce with said wife, his acquisition of new beau Angelina Jolie, and subsequent adoption of a handful of children with his fellow actor. So what, you may ask, does Brad Pitt have to do with poker? A very good question, but you don't have to look far for an answer - just dial up Ocean's Eleven on the TiVo and you will be witness to one of the funniest poker games in any movie.
During the film Rusty, the character played by Pitt, meets up with his pal Danny Ocean, played by fellow star George Clooney, when Rusty is teaching a young set of Hollywood up-and-comers playing themselves how to play poker. Naturally Ocean sits down and the two of them take the starlets for a pretty penny. The only man to make People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" three times, Brad (first name William) has made a hit of himself from his role as a wayward cowboy in Thelma and Louise, and quickly moved up to staring roles after his crazed performance in Kalifornia. Born December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, Pitt is the oldest of three children. He attended Kickapoo High, then attended the University of Missouri in Columbia. He started off in daytime dramas before his career skyrocketed.
