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.

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.

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
