9. Brad Pitt – The Pool Boy
Brad Pitt is a big time star. The A-list actor was a Missouri boy who had dreams of being a movie star. Pitt arrived in Hollywood with just a hundred bucks in his pocket and hopes of breaking into the movie business. He had good looks and a suave attitude. His first big break didn’t come on a big Hollywood set. It came when he arrived late for an interview with Thom Racina, a gay soap star. Racina didn’t have a role for him, but instead had a job as his houseboy. Pitt moved into Racina’s home and ran errands, cleaned the pool, walked the dog and reportedly fulfilled “other” needs for Racina in exchange for room and board. Prior to the early 1980s and catching a break, this was Pitt’s first foray into Hollywood.
