Don't you think Brad Pitt's is the worst actor ever ?? [View all]

Yikes...saw the moving 12 Years a Slave the other night.

Brad Pitt's role is very minor in screen time - and he probably doesn't even have 10 lines. You would think he would NAIL a southern accent (although think he says he spent lots of time in Canada and traveled all over). Not sure what his accent is supposed to be. One time he drifts into Southie speak. Bet he got millions for being in this film.

good thing he's good looking
