Although Chris Pratt has been in the public eye for over 20 years now, even he would probably agree that the role that brought him the most notice wasn’t that of Bright Abbott on Everwood or even his improvisational Andy Dwyer on Parks and Recreation. No, the role that really made Pratt explode in popularity worldwide was that of Peter Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, which led to a host of appearances in additional Marvel movies and a multitude of other opportunities. The star revealed that he’d been “dying” to join the MCU before then, but couldn’t even nab a role as one of the “other guys” in Thor.
