Happy birthday Chris Pratt: The Jurassic World star’s finest moments on screen

It's been one hell of a year for Chris Pratt, who celebrates his 36th birthday as the star of one of the world's highest-grossing films of all time.

The star of Jurassic World is one of the most popular actors around, both on and off screen. Whether he's preemptively apologising for theoretical f**k-ups or absolutely nailing a TOWIE impression in a live TV appearance, you will struggle to find anyone who isn't a fan of the American. Just don't ask him about Indiana Jones. Of course, even before Jurassic World, Pratt was a well-renowned actor with some fantastic film and TV roles under his belt. Here are some of the best.

Guardians of the Galaxy

In his breakthrough Hollywood role, Pratt plays Star-Lord in the Marvel blockbuster. There are plenty of memorable moments, but one particular scene stands out for us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8ohTJp3PAA

The Lego Movie

Pratt's charisma and down-to-earth attitude make him the ideal everyman, which makes his portrayal of Emmet Brickowski in the Lego Movie a perfect piece of casting. It's rare for an animated film to be considered one of the best releases of the year, but his performance as part of an all-star comic cast was enough to create an exception. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Kx-jqDgRo

Parks and Recreation

Pratt endeared himself to TV audiences on both sides of the Atlantic as lovable shoe-shiner Andy Dwyer in sitcom Parks and Recreation. His child-like behaviour would not have worked half as well without Pratt's natural charm, which helped make for utterly engaging scenes like this eye test
