Chris Pratt Books Parks Job Alongside Rashida Jones

NBC's oft-renamed Parks and Recreation finally has another cast member! Everwood alum Chris Pratt has joined the show, playing the boyfriend of Rashida Jones's nurse character, Ann.

In some ways, Pratt's character is the one who sets the whole show in motion: It's his accident in the big, empty pit in Pawnee, Indiana (you know, the one Poehler's cleaning up in this promo) that brings Ann to the parks committee meeting in the first place. The pilot script didn't have a ton of other details about him - other than that he's a struggling musician, which effectively means he's unemployed - so I'll be curious to see more when the show hits our screens April 9.

I'm always happy to see Everwood folks getting work, and it's amazing how grown-up Pratt looks now! There are a couple of key roles left to be cast for the pilot, so I hope we get more intel on those in the coming days.
