Acting is a talent. That is why some become mega stars. Truth that there are some low level actors who deserve a shot but never make it, and there are some mega stars who can't act to save their lives, but overall there are a lot of actors out there who are good at what they do, Pitt is one of them. There is a distinction to be made between being an Actor and being a Movie Star:) Go to Broadway and you'll see actors, go see the latest Hollywood action flick and you'll see movie stars. Marilyn Monroe was such a dumb bimbo they had to tape her lines to the furniture on the set so she wouldn't forget them, use cue cards n' stuff :rofl
