Pringles
Academy-Award winner Brad Pitt has also started his acting career in commercials. Pringles knew what’s good for them, and they cast Brad Pitt for their commercial before he became one of Hollywood’s greatest actors. In the late eighties, the beloved potato chips brand cast Brad Pitt to their commercial, although they hardly needed the attention – they were already popular.
This remains a tiny dot in Pitt’s career. He went on to star in block busters including Thelma & Louise, 12 Monkeys, Ocean’s Eleven (and its sequence), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and many others. Dozens of feature films and awards later, no one remembers how he started, and we bet he doesn’t either.
