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.

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.
