And while Pitt was an up-and-comer at the time of his appearance in the film, he also left his mark on the film's stars.

"I thought, 'Ah, this guy's interesting, you know, he's not just a really gorgeous face.' " "He took it as a character part and as we can see from his career, he really continued to push the envelope in ways that he really didn't have to when you look like that," she added. Davis was similarly wowed by Pitt's performance in the film, opening up to PEOPLE in 2020 for the iconic movie's 30th anniversary. "He just has 'it.' I could tell when he was auditioning that he was super talented," shetold PEOPLEafter the actor snagged his first Oscar. "He has done so many incredible things over the years.
