You must be thinking of John Malkovich. Now he has fuck all range.Brad Pitt has zero range as an actor
First lets do Brad Pitt
Kalifornia- psycho
True Romance - stoner lay about
12 Monkeys - Mental patient
Fight Club - Imaginary friend, anarchist terrorist leader, cool cunt
Oceans whatever - Eye candy
Inglorious Bastards - Hick
Burn After Reading - Idiot
Se7en - Hick detective
Tree Of Life - Emotionally distant father figure
Jesse James - Extremely emotionally distant father figure/psycho
Moneyball, 12 Years a Slave, Babel - ordinary enough guy likeable etc.
World War Z - Big lump of wood surrounded by CGI
John Malkovich
Every fucking film he's in - weird, intelligent, slightly/extremely dangerous outsider.
Of Mice and Men - Weird, unintelligent, slightly dangerous outsider
Being John Malkovich - Himself.
and don't get me started on Samuel L Jackson.
