Nominator(s): Frankie _talk 16:43, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is my 16th nomination this year; this one on the filmography of actor Brad Pitt, who is well known for his roles, such as Thelma & Louise (1991), Seven (1995), 12 Monkeys (1995), Fight Club (1996), Ocean's Eleven (2001; and its sequel), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), and Moneyball (2011). Thanks to all reviewers indulged in reviewing this list. -- Frankie _talk 16:43, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Ssven2

"and played his first major role in the slasher film Cutting Class." — The year of the film's release can be added like "and played his first major role in the slasher film Cutting Class (1989)."
"In 1993, Pitt was cast in the role of a serial killer in the road thriller Kalifornia, and featured in the Tony Scott-directed black comedy film True Romance." — Does citation number 4 cover this as well?

Well, that supports only his Golden Globe nomination. The other parts are verifiable through the main body of the list.

"in which he played a detective on the trail a psychopathic serial killer" — "in which he played a detective on the trail of a psychopathic serial killer."
"both nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture" — "both of which were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture"
One link has a redirect. Fix it.
In the 2001 image, you can mention where the photo was taken.

That's about it from me. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 12:32, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction

"Brad Pitt is an American actor and film producer. His acting career began in 1987 with uncredited roles in the films No Way Out and Less Than Zero." – "Brad Pitt is an American actor and film producer whose acting career began in 1987 with uncredited roles in the films No Way Out and Less Than Zero. (The first sentence seems too simplistic so I suggest combining it with the second.)

"In 1993, Pitt was cast in the role of a serial killer in the road thriller Kalifornia, and featured in the Tony Scott-directed black comedy film True Romance." – "In 1993 Pitt was cast in the role of a serial killer in the road thriller Kalifornia and featured in the Tony Scott-directed black comedy film True Romance." (Commas not necessary)

"He took the role of vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac in the horror drama Interview with the Vampire (1994), and for his performance in the epic drama Legends of the Fall (1994), he earned his first Golden Globe Award for Best Actor nomination." – "He took the role of vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac in the horror drama Interview with the Vampire (1994) and for his performance in the epic drama Legends of the Fall (1994) he earned his first Golden Globe Award for Best Actor nomination." (Commas not necessary)

"Pitt re-teamed with director David Fincher to star in the apocalyptic film Fight Club" – When was their first teaming? It's not mentioned above.

"He earned critical acclaim for producing and starring in the 2011 films—the experimental drama The Tree of Life and the biopic sports drama Moneyball—both of which were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture." – "In 2011 he earned critical acclaim for producing and starring in two films—the experimental drama The Tree of Life and the biopic sports drama Moneyball—both of which were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture."

"Pitt won the Academy Award for Best Picture for the period drama 12 Years a Slave (2013) – "Pitt's production of the period drama 12 Years a Slave (2013) won the Academy Award for Best Picture ."

Television

Since Pitt is an American and all of his television appearances have been in the United States, the column titled "Channel" should be changed to "Network", which is more appropriate for American television. ("Channel", I believe, is more appropriate for British television.)

Comments from Maile

Under "Theater" section, it probably should be changed to the accepted spelling of "Theatre", especially given that's how the venue spells it.
Overall, a really excellent list. — Maile (talk) 13:56, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Maile66: Thanks for your concern. I have fixed it. -- Frankie _talk 14:12, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
