Brad Pitt playing second fiddle or having guest appearances a bunch of times is impressive.


I say impressive because of his A list status. I cannot think of an other movie star in the same league as Brad Pitt consistently turning up for guest appearances or minor roles. Similarly, Pitt is perfectly fine to play supporting characters to actors equally popular as him. Think of his roles in Oceans trilogy, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Big Short, The Counsellor and 12 years a slave.Then there are some roles where, although he is the lead, other actors get plenty of time and spotlight to shine. Troy, Fury, Inglorious Basterds, Snatch, Fight Club and Seven are some examples.Contrast this with the Fast & Furious movies where 2 popular actors, Vin Diesel and The Rock, had a very public feud most probably due to clashing egos.When people say Brad Pitt is "a character actor in a leading man's body," it does make sense somewhat. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3t0Xf4H
