He'd make a great Indy.
The whole scene at the start reminded me of an inter-galactic Indiana Jones. |

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. |

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. |

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

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