Moneyball: What Happened To Paul DePodesta (The Real Peter Brand)
Jonah Hill's Moneyball character, Peter Brand, is based on sports analytics legend Paul DePodesta - but Aaron Sorkin's movie twists some truths.
Jonah Hill's character in Moneyball, Peter Brand, is based on a real person — baseball strategist Paul DePodesta, whose life story is just as interesting as the movie. Paul DePodesta was the inspiration for Jonah Hill's unexpected analytical mastermind Peter Brand in Moneyball, whose approach reinvents the fortunes of Billy Beane's (Brad Pitt) Oakland A's. While fiction, the real Peter Brand isn't that far from the movie character, as Paul DePodesta's net worth has skyrocketed due to his contributions to the game.
