10 Actors Who Reinvented Themselves In Unexpected Ways
2. Chris Pratt
What's this? Another actor famous for starring in Michael Schur and Greg Daniels-produced comedy who found success as an action man and has been in the MCU?
This is getting freaky now.
Before he was saving the universe or holding dinosaurs back with his bare hands, Chris Pratt was Andy Dwyer in over 120 episodes of Parks and Recreation. A loveable manchild, Andy was one of the highlights of the show for many, and his antics are still fondly remembered by fans.
And then he got buff.
Pratt's body transformation for his role as Peter Quill/Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy was nothing short of phenomenal. Also, now that he was sexy, he could have the pick of any part he wanted!
It's sad, but it's true.
As Owen Brady in the Jurassic World series, Pratt proved once again that he could helm a multi-billion dollar series. He's tried to branch out with other films like Passengers and The Magnificent Seven, but Marvel and Jurassic World have been more than suitable homes for this new megastar.
Now let's see if he throws it all down the drain with the Mario movie due out in 2023.
