people thought pratt came into his own, yea he was poor, but he was also given roles through his wife/agent, thats nepotism as well. now hes a shitty right winger about to be washed out.

By the time Chris Pratt got married, to an actress that was much more famous than him, he had already been cast in a bunch of roles, including his breakout role in Parks and Rec.

Yes, networking helps, but applying the nepotism label to all forms of networking (including meeting and marrying a celebrity) dilutes the label to near meaninglessness.
