Chris Pratt breaks new ground with The Terminal List, proving that he needs more work in the action-thriller genre instead of the quirky comedy genre. Pratt got his start in smaller supporting roles in film and TV, usually playing an aloof goofball, such as Andy Dwyer in the comedy series Parks and Recreation, which helped to put him on the map. The actor teased his early action-star potential as a Navy SEAL in director Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty, which served as the inspiration for Jack Carr to create his Navy SEAL protagonist James Reece in The Terminal List in Pratt's likeness.
Pratt got his biggest break in 2014 with the one-two punch of The LEGO Movie (where he played to his comedic charm as Emmet Brickowski) and James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 (where he took on the role of Star-Lord). Both films would spawn sequels, with Pratt playing his MCU character in other films as well, including Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Thor: Love and Thunder. The actor also saw tremendous success in theJurassic World series, playing the lead role of Owen Grady, with that franchise wrapping its trilogy with Jurassic World Dominion. Pratt will finish up his role as Star-Lord in both the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is said to be the last of the series with the original cast.
