He'd make a great Indy.

The whole scene at the start reminded me of an inter-galactic Indiana Jones.

Exactly. It was my immediate thought during the scene. It was so alike I actually figured it was a little homage to Indy... ?

I'm trying to think, has there ever been a transformation like Chris Pratt?

From Everwood, to schlubby guy to be written out of the series premiere of P&R. To schlubby guy who becomes a regular on P&R, to lucky schlub who marries Anna Faris, to HOLY SHIT!! This guy's hilarious, to HOLY SHIT!! This guy's in the blockbuster of the summer, to HOLY SHIT!! This guy's the next Indiana Jones.

Closest I can recall is Brittany Murphy transforming from Tai on Clueless to Alex on 8 Mile. But Chris doesn't strike me as a pill popping whackadoo.

No, but he did survive being thrown a couple of hundred yards while in a 1950's era refrigerator trying to hide from a nuclear blast, so he has that going for him.

Talk about nailing the landing. His character on P&R was just meant to be as an extended guest star for like a 6 episode character arc, for backstory on Anne meeting Leslie.

The writers loved what he did with the role and he became part of the principal cast starting in the 2nd season.

He's got a fairly wide range of roles under his belt, and I think it has the makings of this being the moment of ordination on a rise to becoming one of the top stars in Hollywood.

He has a likeability that crosses over between both men and women, and has shown fabulous range in comedic and dramatic roles.

RDJ was always a star. You can take one glance at him and know. The question was whether he was going to get his head out of the haze of drugs to realize his potential.

A couple of years ago, Pratt could have been one of the guys you worked with on a construction site, or wielding a crescent wrench at the local garage.

It's easy to say that now, but in the mid-80's, he was the kid from Back to School, one of the peripherals orbiting around the Rob Lowe-Andrew McCarthy Brat Pack crowd. It wasn't until Chaplin that anyone took him seriously.

Harrison Ford had that moment, too. For a while there, he was an LA construction worker that had had a few minor roles once.

My point is that I think one good movie and a workout regime is a bit premature to label someone the Biggest Turnaround in Movie History.

I dunno, I thought he had more star power than AMH even with his little part in Weird Science. That thought was borne out, even as they both moved on to a horrible year of SNL.

I've never viewed him as anything but an Angelina Jolie, John Stamos, George Clooney type who just needed to get his shit together

No, he hit the scene and people recognized his talent early. He hit a point where his personal life and trouble kept him from working literally. Studios could not get the required insurance policy because he was considered too high a risk, and subsequently stopped being able to get parts until he truly got his shit together. There was never a time when RDJ wasn't held in the opinion of that as a top flight actor and with box office cache.

Lorne Michaels pounced on him as a kid because he saw his star power, but SNL wasn't his scene and he quickly bounced.
