I agree. Pitt has had to overcome the sex image baggage and I think
he has done some fine work -especially his underrated performance in
Kalifornia.  There is a great deal of  humor in Pitt's
performance that anyone who has ever grown up around yokels should
apperciate.
 
Anyone that has any doubts about Pitt's progress should
catch the terrible Growing Pains cameo he did in the late 80's.
 
Pitt has another meaty part coming up in "Sleepers" the film adaptation
of the best -selling - is it fiction or fact? - coming of age/crime story.
