Born in 1963 in Oklahoma, Brad's childhood was far from the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles.

earning critical acclaim and accolades along the way.
The late '90s and early 2000s saw Brad solidify his position as a Hollywood A-lister, starring in blockbuster hits like "Fight Club" (1999) and "Troy" (2004),
while also embracing character-driven projects such as "Snatch" (2000) and "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" (2007).
His foray into producing with Plan
B Entertainment further cemented his multifaceted talent, leading to successful films like the "Ocean's" series and "The Departed."
