Years before he played the lovable Andy Dwyer on "Parks & Recreation," Chris Pratt portrayed Bright Abbott on "Everwood." Bright begins the series as a bully who taunts Ephram, but the two eventually become best friends. All the way back in 2002, he broke down his character for ET. "Bright Abbott is that guy, that everyone had in high school, that was obnoxious, and arrogant, and extremely attractive," Pratt joked humbly. "And for some reason, they cast me, which is weird, you know? I usually blow most of the auditions that I go to."
Pratt doesn't blow auditions anymore; he's by far the most successful "Everwood" alum. He's an A-lister, leading the "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Jurassic World" franchises. On a critics panel, Pratt's "Everwood" costars later looked back at working with the man who would become a Marvel superstar. John Beasley recalled to The Salt Lake Tribune, "I told him that he was going to be a star. And he had all of the qualities. Great personality. He was a good-looking white boy."
Most recently, Pratt starred in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3." While the movie capped off his arc as Star Lord, Pratt told ET that he wouldn't be opposed to returning to the MCU. "There's a brilliant group of incredible minds in charge of coming up with the stories," he said. "And I'll be standing by waiting to answer the call."
