Christopher Michael "Chris" Pratt (born June 21, 1979) is an American actor. Pratt came to prominence from his television roles, including Bright Abbott in The WB drama series Everwood and Andy Dwyer in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation. His early film career began with supporting roles in such mainstream films as Wanted, Jennifer's Body, Moneyball, The Five-Year Engagement, Zero Dark Thirty, Delivery Man, and Her.
Pratt achieved leading man status after starring in two commercially successful films in 2014: computer-animated adventure comedy The Lego Movie and Marvel Studios superhero film Guardians of the Galaxy (in which he portrayed Star-Lord). In 2015, he starred in Jurassic World, the fourth installment in the Jurassic Park franchise and his most financially successful film to date, earning $1.6 billion at the box office. Later that year, Time named Pratt one of the 100 most influential people in the world on the annual Time 100 list.
Pratt continued his leading man status with The Magnificent Seven and Passengers, and will reprise his role as Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War.
