In the movie, Leonardo DiCaprio plays the role of an actor who is slowly losing his prominence in the movie industry. In one of the scenes, Brad's character tells Leonardo's character, "You're Rick Dalton! Don't you forget that." Pitt based that line on an actor who told him the same thing when he was a budding actor in the early nineties, as per an IMDb report.
