Brad Pitt is one of the most widely recognized actors in Hollywood, but his small role as a hitchhiker in "Thelma & Louise" in 1991 helped him gain recognition, putting him on the map as a bona fide heartthrob.

He's since been in dozens of films, both as an actor and producer, and has won awards ranging from an Oscar (as producer of "12 Years a Slave") to Emmys and Golden Globes. He also founded his own production company called Plan B Entertainment.

He has six children with Angelina Jolie, though their divorce is currently pending.
