“I did all sorts of odd jobs, like dressing up as a
chicken and being a delivery boy [upon first arriving in L.A.]. I was driving
strippers around on weekends to make extra money. I’d take them to bachelor
parties. I did that for about two months and then I couldn’t hang with it. But
then on the last night I drove, one of the new strippers told me about an
acting class that her friend Charlie Sheen went to. I figured, If it’s good
enough for Charlie, it’s good enough for me.”—Actor Brad Pitt quoted in Kathleen
McCleary, “First Jobs: Even the Rich and Famous Had to Start Somewhere!”, Parade, July 12, 2020
