just seen 12 Years and he stuck out as almost ruining the film.

He, just like Julia Roberts, had good performances early on - Thelma and Louise, Pretty Woman, Mystic Pizza - and they are gorgeous. So, the producers thought they were good enough to push on the public for many years after. The public supported them because they were the "it" people. But the acting got worse and worse.

My main problem with Pitt is his overwhelming inability to take on an accent - He is ridiculously bad at it. Think they should just let him talk in his own accent - however anachronistic it is - would be better to explain that than to have him make a fool of himself.

BTW - no one who isn't from Boston should EVER fake a Boston accent.
