The Devil’s Own
This next rather unknown film of Pitt’s is also a thriller and co-starred by Harrison Ford. Ford’s character, Tom O’Meara, is a police officer who has a suspicious Irish houseguest, Rory Devaney, who is played by Pitt. While some may think it's weird to give such a role to an American actor, it's important to remember that his genetic profile revealed him to have Irish ancestry so maybe the casting isn't completely off-base.

It is soon revealed that Rory is involved with the Irish Republican Army and has nothing but ill intentions. The film was not very successful and both Ford and Pitt noted that the project began shooting without a completed screenplay.

Cutting Class
The movie “Cutting Class” was considered a horror/mystery flick. The plot may hit a little too close to home for some as it is focused on a violent student. A very young Brad Pitt plays the character of high school student Dwight Ingalls who is wary of his possibly murderous fellow student Brian Woods.

The plot also involves a love triangle between Dwight, Brian, and another student, Paula Carson. While it is not uncommon to cast older people to play high school students, it is possible that Pitt, who was 26 years old at the time, seemed a bit too old to be playing a high schooler.
