Never heard of Doug Pitt? Yet, does the last name sound familiar? Well, in-case you haven't figured it out yet, Doug is the older brother of actor Brad Pitt. Doug is set to star in his first role but it won't be in any feature film. Doug is featured in a new Virgin Mobile ad campaign in Australia.
The ad has now gone viral!
Doug appeared on The Today Show to talk about his new found fame saying,
"It's a little surreal, but it's fun. This whole campaign was to be tongue in cheek and to have fun. And luckily, it's hit its mark."
"All of a sudden I started getting calls. I panicked!" he says. "But I'm thrilled with the response."
How did his brother Brad find out about this?
"I did call him and said, 'Hey, what do you think?' And he was like, 'Do it. It sounds great!' "
And if he wanted to do more acting... we're sure he might have the right connections in Hollywood!
