AGE 37  WHY HIM? When we asked Bratt whose career he'd like to have, he said, "Can I keep mine? I'll stick with that." Yeah, a gorgeous mug, a career jump from TV (Law & Order) to the big screen (Traffic, Miss Congeniality) that's actually working, and the Queen of Hollywood on his arm—who's going to argue?   CAREER HIGH  "Making Follow Me Home with friends and family and watching it win the audience award at the '96 San Francisco International Film Festival."  CAREER LOW "I almost took a job carrying a sandwich board dressed as a court jester for the California [Lottery]."   ROLE MODEL Who's better than Denzel Washington?"  BEST ADVICE "In work,as in life, 'Keep it simple.'"   WORST ADVICE "The producers on my first TV job suggested I change my name from Bratt to something more 'ethnic.' Ridiculous." NEXT He'll star as Miguel Piñero in Miramax's biopic of the Puerto Rican playwright, and opposite Katie Holmes in Traffic screenwriter Stephen Gaghan's directorial debut, Abandon.
