The plot is centered around a man searching for a cure for his skin disease. Before this, Pitt had a handful of uncredited roles as well as a few small TV roles on shows like “Another World”, “21 Jump Street” and “Dallas”.

A Famous Vampire

A film that helped make Brad Pitt a household name was the infamous film “Interview with the Vampire”. The morbid story was written by horror author Anne Rice and chronicles a vampire who agrees to share his life’s story with a reporter. In a movie that paved the way for other vampire-themed films, Pitt donned all the essentials: fangs, colored contact lenses, and the best goth fashion available.
