United Kingdom, June 24 -- Brad Pitt was nearly fired from his first movie role after speaking as an extra.

The 61-year-old star made an uncredited appearance as a waiter in the 1987 film No Man's Land and explained that he spontaneously added a line of dialogue whilst pouring champagne in an attempt to become a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) - much to the displeasure of the crew.

Brad told Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast: "It's a restaurant scene. The main characters are Charlie Sheen and D.B. Sweeney, and a bunch of other actors that I wasn't necessarily aware of. I am the waiter. I'm supposed to bring up champagne and pour champagne. They show me how to do it. You gotta pour. You spin. You wipe the thing."
