four man heist team from the opening

I noticed something for the first time watching this today and i was wondering if anyone agrees. In the opening heist scene there are 4 men: Freddie for fingers, two unnamed men (I've heard one is Boris the blades cousin) and a forth man. In every close shot except two, just as they are about to show the fourth man it cuts away out he is hidden. We know these men are in disguises and when you do see this guys face it looks a hell of allot like Mikey (Brad Pitt). Am I right?

Well, no. After the opening titles you see the faces of all four robbers, including Franky (not Freddie) Four Fingers and Boris The Blade's brother (not cousin).

I thought it looked like him as well.

Me too. I was more curious how they got guns passed the metal detectors.

Well according to the movie the guy who's carrying the guns does beep and the guy says 'What is it? Well, what is it?' To which Frankie replies 'What you want I should do, drop my pants?'...'Okay, go through'. It seemed like pretty lax security but it does appear they were expecting someone they knew.

I thought one of the heist team was Brad Pitt, too. However, that person is Benicio Del Toro (Four Fingers). From certain angles, he looks like Brad Pitt in real life also. Being in disguise, the character looks a lot like Brad Pitt in the beginning of the movie.
