Chris Pratt has broken out in a big way, thanks to his roles in Guardians of the Galaxy, a makeover that has blown our minds, and Jurassic World. But for those of us who are Parks and Recreation fans, Pratt's success hasn't been a surprise, because he was so brilliant as Andy Dwyer. It would have been easy to write him off as the show's dim bulb, but if you watched for the series's entire run, then you know how much more he is — how sweet, wonderful, and wise (in his own way) he is. Now that the show is over, we're reflecting on the greatness of his character before you go and drool over him on the big screen.
