Hill adapted the ’80s TV series — one of his ‘Moneyball’ co-star’s first acting gigs — for the big screen.
After years of pleading and promising, Jonah Hill has reportedly landed Johnny Depp for a cameo in the big-screen adaptation of the ’80s TV series “21 Jump Street.”
Hill actually had another connection to a “Jump Street” vet in Brad Pitt, who appeared in one episode as a long-haired high school kid. The actors now star in “Moneyball,” a film that had wrapped production a year before cameras began rolling on “21 Jump Street.” But Hill never hit up Pitt about joining in the new “21 Jump Street,” as MTV News learned at the Toronto International Film Festival.
“I did ’21 Jump Street,’ “ Pitt told his co-star. “It was one of my first jobs.”

Left to right, Billy Beane, Brad Pitt, and Jonah Hill, share a light…
For a day at least, the Oakland Coliseum felt just like Hollywood. Brad Pitt plopped down in a chair in Section 244, high above center field, and joked that acting was the only way he’d ever make it to the big leagues.
“My relationship with baseball was cantankerous at best,” he joked. “I had a crap arm. I couldn’t hit. My career ended with 18 stitches under my eye after a pop fly at high noon.
“It was not my gift.”
With that, Pitt flashed a wry smile at A’s General Manger Billy Beane, whom he portrays in the “Moneyball” movie that hits theaters Friday. Based on the best-selling book by Michael Lewis, “Moneyball” tells the story of how Beane bucked baseball’s conventions on his way to turning the small-payroll A’s into a powerhouse in the early 2000s.
“I feel a bit romantic about the A’s,” Pitt said, who said he has become a fan.

Brad Pitt is the NFL’s voice for its upcoming documentary on the New Orleans’ Saints Super Bowl victory.
Pitt narrates NFL Films’ documentary, “America’s Game: 2009 New Orleans Saints,” about the team’s win over the Indianapolis Colts last February. The film debuts on the NFL Network at 9 p.m. EDT on Sept. 8, the night before the Saints begin their defense of the Super Bowl title.
The NFL traditionally seeks out a celebrity narrator for its annual Super Bowl documentary. Pitt was chosen because of his humanitarian work in New Orleans in the five years since Hurricane Katrina, the NFL said.
