This 'Parks and Recreation' Actor Changed So Much That It Altered the Trajectory of the Show

Everyone who considers themselves a citizen of Pawnee, IN, misses Parks and Recreation every single day. As a series, it should be considered mandatory viewing not just because of its optimistic outlook on politics and community life, but also for having launched many artists who are big stars nowadays, like Chris Pratt, whom you certainly know from Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World. Before those hit franchises, he played the goofball Andy Dwyerin the NBC series, a character who, despite all his many faults, viewers couldn't help but love and laugh with (not at; never at).
