Overview

• On Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast Pitt described how he added unscripted dialogue as a waiter in the 1987 film No Man’s Land to earn a SAG card and was warned he’d be fired if he spoke again.
• His impromptu “Would you like anything else?” earned a sharp rebuke from the assistant director and left Pitt feeling ashamed that night.
• After minor roles throughout the late 1980s he achieved his breakthrough in 1991 with Thelma & Louise, which propelled his career to leading-man status.
• Pitt now headlines F1, a Formula 1 racing film directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, slated for release on June 27, 2025.
• Early reviews for F1 have been positive, including an 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and it is projected to open to around $35 million domestically.
