They Both Acted In Spy Game
The 2001 American Spy film Spy Game featured both actors. In the movie, the stars played out a mentor-protege relationship. Robert played the role of Nathan D.

It was an excellent opportunity to examine their similarities in appearance and mannerism. Check out the video clip below to confirm the same.
A River Runs Through It
Another connection between both men is the film A River Runs Through It, which is based on a semi-biographical book by Norman Maclean. The film is directed by Richard and features Brad playing the role of Paul Maclean. During auditions for the movie, “Everyone tried out for the part of Paul — Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix…all the actors of that age group who were not working.” according to Richard Friedenberg, who was the screenwriter assigned to turn the book into a movie script. He also admitted to the pair having eerie physical resemblance.
On his part, Brad Pitt admitted that he wanted that role “badly” and stated, “These kinds of films is why I want to act.” He went on to prove this by delivering a stellar performance in the movie. If you are wondering how good the movie was, check out its trailer in the video clip below.
