He followed that up in the next few years with memorable performances in David Fincher's "Seven" (1995) and Terry Gilliam's "12 Monkeys" (1995), the latter of which led to his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Nearly a decade after leaving college to go to California, Pitt broke through in 1994, where he starred in "Interview with the Vampire" (1994) and "Legends of the Fall" (1994). Pitt's first notable role arrived in Ridley Scott's "Thelma & Louise" (1991), which led to another scene-stealing turn a few years later in the Quentin Tarantino-written "True Romance" (1993). That was followed up by a starring role on the show "Glory Days" (Fox 1990), but that only lasted six episodes. His first leading film role was in "The Dark Side of the Sun" (1988), but the film was barely seen. His early work was mostly uncredited, with appearances in "Less Than Zero" (1987) and an episode of "21 Jump Street" (Fox 1987-1991). As he came of age, he attended the University of Missouri, but just shy of graduation, he left, setting sail for California so he could try his hand at becoming an actor in the mid-1980s. Born in Oklahoma and raised in Missouri, Brad Pitt viewed Hollywood from afar in his youth.
