0Chris Pratt REALLY Did Start At ROCK BOTTOM..
Welcome back to Film Nerds. During his 20-year career, Chris Pratt has come to exemplify the charismatic and affable leading man persona of a Hollywood star. Although Pratt is best known for his role as Peter Quill aka Star-Lord in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise, he has a number of other memorable leading and supporting roles to his credit where the actor has made ample use of his gift for comedy. Before becoming a Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero, Pratt was best known as the schlubby and lovable Andy Dwyer from "Parks and Recreation." On the side, Pratt was also taking on increasingly prominent roles in movies, from a bit part as James McAvoy's annoying best friend in "Wanted" to playing a Navy SEAL in "Zero Dark Thirty."
When Chris Pratt debuted his buff look as Star-Lord in the MCU, fans expressed shock at the actor's change in appearance. The fact that Pratt was able to transform his body from the chubby Andy Dwyer to the superhero Peter Quill earned him a great deal of praise. In 2014, Chris Pratt took to Twitter to post the very first headshot he got as a 20-something actor looking for work in Hollywood. Pratt dubbed his headshot "Douchemaster McChest," and with good reason. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Pratt revealed it was a chance meeting with actress Rae Dawn Chong while waiting at her table at Bubba Gump Shrimp that gave him his first acting break. Chong was best known for her leading role in "Commando" opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger and for being the daughter of stoner-comedian Tommy Chong. "She was with her producing partner," Pratt explained. When a fan asked Pratt about his past as an overweight comedic actor, the actor explained that putting on weight actually helped him land better roles. "I was confident and in good shape when I first came to LA, but nobody would cast me in any well-written roles," Pratt wrote. "People assumed based on my looks I was an a**hole and a one-trick pony. I only auditioned to play the douchebag characters." Chris Pratt came into his role as Andy Dwyer on "Parks and Recreation" hungry to prove that he could play a more complex character than a one-note loser.
