Is Chad Palomino a parody of Brad Pitt?

Vote Yes or No.

If Chad Palamino's character was based on Brad Pitt, I don't think Tom DiCillo is going to publicly admit it. If you want to believe it's based on Brad Pitt, look only to the fact that Mr. DiCillo wrote the script for "Living in Oblivion" and had directed only one feature film before: "Johnny Suede," starring Brad Pitt.

Interestingly, both films also feature a male little person in a dream sequence, so maybe one would want to find out if the director had a "falling out" with the little person featured in "Johnny Suede."

If you don't want to believe it, look to the fact that Mr. DiCillo had worked on several feature films as a cinematographer before directing "Living in Oblivion," so he had had experiences with several leading men.

Mr. DiCillo discusses his experiences directing "Johnny Suede" in a book entitled, "My First Movie: Twenty Celebrated Directors Talk About Their First Film" by Stephen Lowenstein. In it, Mr. DiCillo says he was unsatisfied with Brad Pitt's interpretation of the role of "Johnny Suede," but then Mr. DiCillo takes full responsibility for not directing Brad Pitt's performance differently. So, apparently it was not all sweetness and light between Tom DiCillo and Brad Pitt.

P.S. Brad Pitt did "Living in Oblivion" after his breakthrough in "Thelma and Louise."
