Hollywood Beckons, Thanks to Billy!
Actor Billy Baldwin might have aided Brad Pitt in making a name for himself in Hollywood. How, you might ask? Originally, Baldwin had been cast for the role of “JD” in the legendary film “Thelma & Louise.” That was Brad Pitt’s breakthrough role! Can you even fathom anyone else pulling it off? Yeah, neither can we.
But let’s get back on track. Anyway, Baldwin dropped the project to take what he deemed a more desirable role in Ron Howard’s “Backdraft.” Then Pitt assumed the role, leaving everyone wondering just who he was.
