Brad Pitt joins cast of ‘8’ as gay judge!

As if having a cast that includes George Clooney, Matt Bomer, Kevin Bacon, Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison wasn’t already star-studded enough, Brad Pitt has been added to the cast of the benefit reading of the play 8 taking place Saturday in Los Angeles.

The play based on the transcripts of the trial which led to an appeals court striking down California’s Proposition 8 last month. Pitt will play the part of US District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker who found Proposition 8 unconstitutional after presiding over the historic twelve-day public trial.

Pitt’s Oceans Eleven buddy and recent fellow Oscar nominee Clooney had previously been announced in the role of plaintiffs’ lead co-counsel David Boies. The other plaintiff’s co-counsel, Theodore Olson, is being played by Martin Sheen.
