Steve -- Brad Pitt is IMHO along with Johnny Depp one of the most limited actors to grace the screen. Unlike Depp, Pitt has pretensions of being a good actor. [Depp knows he can only play freaks and does so regularly.]

Pitt famously could not come up with an accent for Snatch and so mumbled to cover up his laziness. Akin to Nick Cage's bad accent in Captain Fonzarelli's Mandolin. Both had six months to come up with an accent.

The terrible, terrible weakness of most male actors is that they could not play ordinary men to save their lives. Bruce Willis *could* play them early in his career, not IMHO now. *Maybe* Mortenson could now. But most can't.

Mortenson is known as both uber-left even for Hollywood but also an all around nice guy and outside of Hollywood's publicity machine. So perhaps the lack of a huge social distance between ordinary people and Mortenson allows him to play more ordinary men.

How could Pitt ever play an average guy? He wouldn't know the first thing about him.
