As an actor, Pratt came to prominence with his television roles in The WB drama series ‘Everwood’ and in the NBC sitcom ‘Parks and Recreation.’ Written off as a supporting actor, his big breakthrough came in 2014 when he starred in lead roles in two super-hit commercially successful films, computer-animated adventure comedy ‘The Lego Movie’ and Marvel Studios superhero film ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’.
