Chris Pratt early career history

Overview

Actor Chris Pratt has shared details regarding his life in Hawaii prior to his Hollywood success. He described a period when he lived in a van with approximately $60 and worked as a waiter at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.

Pratt credited a chance encounter with director Rae Dawn Chong at the restaurant for changing his career trajectory. After being asked if he could act, Pratt auditioned for the low-budget horror comedy, ‘Cursed Part 3’. Because he did not own a phone at the time, he provided a friend’s contact number to receive the casting call. After studying the 120-page script, Pratt was cast in the role of Devon, which led to him being flown from Hawaii to Los Angeles.
