10 Things You Didn't Know About Chris Pratt

6. He Wasn't Supposed To Be A Main Character On Parks And Recreation

Pratt went on to feature in various TV shows and films in guest roles, and one-off appearances though a major break came when he landed a temporary role on the long-running US comedy series, Parks And Recreation. He was only cast for a six-episode spell, but the producers loved his character Andy Dwyer so much, they decided to keep him on as a series regular and he featured in every single episode across the seven seasons of the show, 125 episodes in total. Co-creator Michael Schur told Entertainment Weekly: "Almost at the point of the audition we were like, €˜Oh, we have to re-conceive this, because this guy€™s the funniest person we€™ve ever seen. We€™re not letting that guy go. Pratt is very often the best improviser in the cast, which is really saying something.€
