He frequently collaborated with Monty Python legend Terry Gilliam with the pair first meeting on the set of 1975’s Monty Python and the Holy Grail when Pratt worked as a clapper loader.
Gilliam recalled about meeting Pratt: ‘We were filming the Bridge of Death sequence and needed a dramatic shot looking up at the bridge with the mountains in the distance. I stuck the camera on the edge of the cliff, but the lens wasn’t wide enough. We were a long way from the road, the light was going. It was terrible.
