You'll Never Believe How These Legendary Actors Got Discovered

Chris Pratt

Pratt wasn't a model, actor, musician, or even a wannabe. He was just a goofy kid who worked as a waiter at a Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant in Maui. He had no intention of pursuing a career in acting, he really just wanted to hang out with his pals.

The World Works in Mysterious Ways

One day, while Pratt was waiting tables, director Rae Dawn Chong came into his restaurant. She took a liking to Pratt and asked him if he wanted to be cast in her upcoming horror movie. After that, Pratt worked his way up to being one of the most famous actors of the 2010s.
