Prior to going on to become one of Marvel’s leading men, Chris Pratt first gained notoriety for his role in the NBC comedy “Parks & Recreation.” Pratt’s portrayal of the endearing nerd Andy Dwyer is one of the actor’s most enduring performances, despite not appearing in every episode.

Andy became one of the most adored characters on the show after moving up the ranks in Pawnee’s Parks and Recreation division to become Leslie Knope’s assistant. This was particularly true of his bond with April Ludgate played by Aubrey Plaza. Leslie and Ben, who were portrayed on the show by Amy Poehler and Adam Scott, had a strong marriage and made a great example of how opposites attract.

Are Chris Pratt and Aubrey Plaza friends?

As “Parks and Recreation” came to an end, Aubrey Plaza stated, “Gonna miss Chris Pratt in my life because he’s my TV spouse, and sometimes I forget that he’s not my real husband.” Despite collaborating on diverse tasks, Pratt and Plaza continue to be friends.
