Born on December 18, 1963 makes him the first born son to Jane and William Pitt. Brad is the eldest of three kids. He and his siblings grew up in Springfield, Missouri. I guess you can say he had a love of movies as he was growing up. I think that may have triggered him to want to be an actor. Although acting was not his first decision. Brad originally wanted to be journalist. He studied at the University of Missouri, but he ended up dropping out of college. After dropping out of school Brad went to Los Angeles in hope of finding an agent to help himself get out there in the world.
