The career of Chris Pratt

Revelation TV and second roles

In 2009, the role of the idiot, but lovable Andy Dwyer in the television series Parks and Recreation on NBC is entrusted to Chris Pratt. Originally intended to be a temporary character (he is credited as a guest star throughout the first season), the character is so loved by audiences that the producers ask Pratt to return as a recurring actor, eventually fully integrating the main distribution of the series. 

His character is thus further developed from the start of the second season. However, he reveals to the BBC a few years later he felt "depressed and tired" during the filming of the series, due to the health problems associated with his overweight. Despite this, the actor still has to remain overweight for the purposes of the role.

In addition to the Parks and Recreation series, Pratt continues its momentum in cinema. 

In 2009, he played a small role in the horror film Jennifer's Body alongside Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, then one of the two main roles in the comedy film Hot Babes with Brendan Hines and Denise Richards. Finally, he plays Fletcher, the fiancé of the character of Anne Hathaway in the movie Best Enemies.

In 2011, he played supporting roles in two notable comedies: (S) ex List and Une soir d'enfer. These two films are very poorly received by critics and spectators. He played alongside actress Anna Faris who would become his wife a few years later. He played Scott Hatteberg in the 2011 film The Strategist, starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Before the release of this film, Pratt had a reputation for knowing how to play only immature and quite "limited" characters. 

In this one, he has the opportunity to play a dad and a baseball player who fears that his career may be over and who is learning to adopt a whole new defensive stance to carry out his career. Pratt loses nearly 15 pounds for this role. He confides that her weight loss is linked to the kitchen Anna Faris and regular training. However, he regained a few pounds to appear in the film Ten Years in 2012, with Channing Tatum, before gaining muscle to play a Navy SEAL in Zero Dark Thirty by Kathryn Bigelow 19. Acclaimed, this film was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture in 2013.
