Full name of Pitt is Major Dirk Eric Pitt. Born at the Hogg Hospital in Newport Beach, California. His mother is Barbara and his father is George Pitt, he is a senior United States Senator. Pitt's eyes is green.
Dirk Pitt works as a special projects Director under NUMA's Admiral Sandecker. He his often helped by his side kick an Italian, Al Giordino. Pitt use to say great one liners which I have already quoted in book reviews.
Dirk Pitt adventures were made into movies, Raise the Titanic! was released in 1980 and Sahara was released in 2005. Both movies are a disappointment for Dirk Pitt fans. Richard Jordan and Mathew McConaughey played Dirk Pitt characters in Raise the Titanic! and Sahara respectively.
