Chris Pratt

Christopher Michael Pratt was born June 21, 1979, and spent his early career in minor roles before landing a part in the drama series Everwood from 2002 to 2006. His breakthrough came as Andy Dwyer on Parks and Recreation, the NBC sitcom that ran from 2009 to 2015 and showcased his comic timing. In 2014 he was cast as Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy, a role he'd play across six Marvel films through 2023, and the global recognition that followed made him one of Hollywood's most bankable names. A year later he starred as Owen Grady in Jurassic World, anchoring a trilogy that ran until 2022 and cemented his blockbuster status. He added voice work - Emmet in The Lego Movie, Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Garfield - and took leads in The Magnificent Seven, Passengers, and The Tomorrow War. In 2020 he founded Indivisible Productions; its first project, The Terminal List, paid him $1.4 million per episode.
