In 2022, Pratt starred as a former Navy SEAL officer in the Prime Video seriesThe Terminal List. His character, James Reece, investigates why his entire platoon was ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission.

During an appearance onJimmy Kimmel Live!,Pratt revealed that he tried to pull a prank on the cast and crew of the series.

“The last thing we did was me essentially getting buried alive,”said Pratt.“I’m breathing through a straw and they use an excavator to dump another big bucket full of dirt on top of me in the shot and I’m supposed to crawl out.”

Pratt decided to prank everyone on the set by staying still for 30 seconds.

“What I failed to realize after 30 seconds of not moving thinking it would be funny is that I actually couldn’t move,”he added. “I could only move my right hand. Took a minute and a half and I finally get out and I cough up dirt. People come up to me, and go, ‘Dude, that was some of the best acting that I’ve ever seen you do.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I s*** my pants. That’s how committed I was.’”

Well, at least he managed to deliver a convincing performance.The Terminal Listwas received well by fans and underlined Pratt’s ability to portray serious characters. He’s currently working on wrapping up Season 2 of the hit action thriller series.
