Chris Pratt may have taken Hollywood by storm over the past few years, but he was a talented star long before he became a sexy superhero. He first hit the spotlight back in the early 2000s, making a name for himself on the small screen with roles on Everwood and The O.C.. For years, Chris cracked up Parks and Recreation fans with Andy Dwyer's antics, and he's become one of the biggest movie stars in the world thanks to the Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World franchises. Although his onscreen talents are certainly a reason to appreciate Chris Pratt, his real-life charisma definitely makes him one of the most lovable celebrities — even cooler and sexier than any character he could ever play. To celebrate Chris Pratt's 39th birthday, take a look back at his Hollywood evolution, then check out his buzzy acceptance speech from this week's MTV Movie & TV Awards.
