Brad Pitt Reveals 'Inglourious Basterds' Casting Process

For some actors, being cast in a leading role can be a long and difficult process.

Those actors aren't Brad Pitt.

This week at the Cannes Film Festival Pitt discussed how he got involved in Quentin Tarantino's new film, Inglourious Basterds, which is a revisionist film centering on World War II and Hitler.

"All I know is we talked about backstory and we talked about movies into the wee hours. I got up the next morning and I saw five empty bottles of wine on the floor. Five. And something that resembled smoking apparatus, I don't know what that was," Brad said in an interview with the UK's Guardian newspaper. "Apparently I had agreed to do the movie and six weeks later I was in a uniform."

So basically he got drunk and stoned and talked about Nazis one night and the next thing he knew he was headlining a Tarantino flick?

Sounds like the best job interview in the world to us.
