Publish date: 2024-07-11

Michael Carmen Pitt, an American actor, model, and singer, was born on April 10, 1981. Pitt made his breakthrough in the 2001 film adaptation of John Cameron Mitchell’s 1998 stage musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch as Tommy Gnosis, the lover of transgender rock sensation Hedwig.

Pitt played Gnosis in a number of well-known and often contentious films, including Larry Clark’s Bully (2001), Murder by Numbers (2002), and Funny Games (a 2007 remake of Michael Haneke’s 1997 film of the same name), despite the fact that it was not his first acting role. Pitt’s leading role in Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Dreamers was one of his most notable roles (2003). In 2004, Pitt starred in M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village and Asia Argento’s Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things. Pitt starred in Gus Van Santa’s Last Days in 2005 as a rock musician “inspired” by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
He sang and played guitar in a style eerily similar to Kurt Cobain’s, and he performed all of the songs.
