What am I missing? He seems to be very average and is somehow landing lead roles in these major blockbuster movies.

It seems like his peak role should have been the sidekick in a romantic comedy. He is somewhat funny, but never the funniest guy in a movie and doesn't seem like an action star to me. What am I missing?

Dude's hilarious, he's cool, he doesn't take himself too seriously, he can apparently clean up well, and he's really good at the acting.

I've had a man crush on Chris Pratt for a while now. Everything is awesome!

If you've watched Parks and Rec over the years, you can't help but love Chris Pratt. He really is just like Andy Dwyer in real life, so it's been great to see him blow up in Hollywood recently.

What I like about him is that he really seems like a nice, down to earth guy in real life. He does a lot of stuff at childrens hospitals which I find really cool. Plus I dont think they could have someone better for Star Lord.

Yeah, there aren't too many people in Hollywood that I consider to be a "good person".

The bet with Chris Evans was great stuff, kudos to both!

He's also pretty good at coming up with a line on the spot. The writers for Parks & Rec think the "connectivity issues" line is the best line on the show and it was made up on the spot. The "comeback" out take is gold as well.

Liked him since he played Bright on the TV show Everwood.

Well, I don't know how you're missing it. The guy has charisma on screen and off. He's versatile and plays a good everyman while bringing easy humor to his roles. It's not rocket surgery. He's Ryan Reynolds before Green Lantern.

He plays a dimwit, loveable goober on Parks and Rec, voiced the lead in The Lego Movie and played a lead SEAL in Zero Dark Thirty. I think the guy's pretty damn legit.

I liked the shite out of him in the minor role he had in Zero Dark Thirty. Was the first time I noticed him. I thought he killed it in GOTG. Very likable guy.

I work with a guy that met him in an elevator in a hotel in NYC. Said he was super cool and very nice.
