Quite an underrated talent.

Thanks for the reminder. I must profess most all he's films have been enjoyable; with an equal amount being stand out performances.

After he was shunned for Jesse James I lost all respect for the Academy. How they could overlook this too, was just beyond me.

But I guess if you don't fit their original mold you will never be given the break.

I don't think Redford ever got an acting award either, and he did great work too.

Travers left out an early Brad Pitt film, Cool World. It was a good little performance, but he was totally ignored until Thelma and Louise. Kalifornia was fun, Brad doing over the top, scary, trailer trash serial killer. He has an interesting body of work overall.

Brad Pitt was just lucky that's all.Any good looking dude could do what he does and he shit on Jen and got with Jolie while he was married.They are PURE Trailer Park Trash.They do alot of good but so would almost anyone with such good luck. Don't praise them to much remember what they did,and what kind of people have affairs...
