Today’s quote is from Christopher Michael Pratt, born today in 1979 in Virginia, Minnesota. Pratt is an American actor and rose to prominence for his television roles, particularly as Andy Dwyer in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation (2009–2015), for which he received critical acclaim and was nominated for the Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2013.
Pratt also starred earlier in his career as Bright Abbott in The WB drama series Everwood (2002–2006) and had roles in Wanted (2008), Jennifer’s Body (2009), Moneyball (2011), The Five-Year Engagement (2012), Movie 43 (2013), Zero Dark Thirty (2013), Delivery Man (2013), and Her (2013). He went on to establish himself as a Hollywood leading man in 2014, with lead roles in Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy as Star-Lord and Warner Animation Group’s The Lego Movie as Emmet Brickowski. Both films were critically and commercially successful, becoming the year’s third and fifth highest-grossing films respectively in North America. In 2015, Pratt portrayed Owen Grady in Jurassic World (2015), that year’s second highest-grossing film, and reprised the role in the subsequent films Fallen Kingdom (2018) and Dominion (2022).
