First thing I saw this guy in was a tv show called Everwood, which I only tried to watch because I had a tv crush on his costar. All I remember about that show is that Pratt’s character had a silly haircut & a sillier name. Anyway, glad he went on to do other things.
Before Hollywood, I was living in a van in Hawaii and waiting tables at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. One day, the incredible Rae Dawn Chong walked into the restaurant, and naturally, I went up to her table and said, “Hey, you’re a movie star! What are you doing here?”
She asked if I could act, and I said, “Fuck yeah, put me in your movie!”
She asked for my phone number. The only problem was I didn’t have one. So I gave her my buddy Mike’s number instead. A couple days later, Mike casually mentions, “Oh, by the way, someone called you.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MIKE?!
I called her back, and sure enough, she was serious. I drove over to pick up the script, went back to Mike’s house, and read all 120 pages three times in a row. First script I’d ever read. My character's name was Devon, and I remember thinking, “Sweet! I could totally play a Devon!”
I showed up to the audition with every line and inflection mapped out in pencil. Rae told me I could act and offered me the part. I asked if we were shooting in Hawaii. Nope. Los Angeles.
I had about $60 to my name, a bag of clothes, and some rollerblades.
Then Rae told me they'd fly me out. And I remember thinking right then and there, my life just changed forever. I'm going to be an actor.
That little movie was Cursed Part 3, a low-budget horror comedy that opened the door to Hollywood for me.
I'll forever be grateful to Rae for taking a chance on a kid working at a shrimp restaurant. Everybody starts somewhere, and this is where it all began for me.
I swore an oath to myself that I’d kill her allies too, but some of my party members take that personally (cough @AlphaChadRiker )

What's the difference between a well-dressed man on a unicycle and a poorly-dressed man on a bicycle? Attire.

The best thing you can do when you enter a relationship with another person is make the active decision to choose them everyday no matter what. Once you guys do that the relationship can never be a burden. You have to do away with the “if”s and “but”s.
