Christopher Plummer

Seven decades in show business is not an achievement anyone can take lightly, but Christopher Plummer still pulled it off, nonetheless. During the earlier years of his life, Christopher originally dreamed of becoming a concert pianist. By the time he was in high school, his ambition had shifted to the stage, a career in acting.

He became a worldwide sensation after he landed an acting credit in the classic 1965 film The Sound of Music as none other than Captain Georg von Trapp. Because of his reputable personality, he’s often the leading choice for portraying major historical figures such as Emperor Commodus in the 1964 flick The Fall of the Roman Empire, Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington in the epic war film Waterloo and many others. Today, Plummer is still an active player in the industry. Many movie enthusiasts would probably recognize him for his small but relevant role in 2019’s Knives Out.
