Arthur Christopher Orme Plummer is a veteran Canadian actor who has been a part of numerous movies, TV shows, and theaters. Born in 1929, Plummer is best recognized for his roles in movies like A Beautiful Mind and The Sound of Music. With his 55 years of acting career, Christopher Plummer’s net worth stands at $20 million.
Plummer was interested in acting right from his childhood days. His breakthrough into the mainstream film industry happened when he was 29 years old. His first movie was “Stage Struck”, where he played the role of a young writer. There has been no looking back for this magnificent actor, as he repeatedly delivered excellent performances all through the years in his acting career. Plummer played the role of Captain Von Trapp in the movie “The Sound of Music”, which remains one of the best classic movies made in the history of film. However, it was reported that Plummer was not much fond of the role he was assigned to play in this movie. Plummer was nominated in the Best Actor in a Supporting role category in the 2009 Oscars but failed to win it. However, he did grab his first Oscar in the following year in the same category for his role in the movie “Beginners”.
Plummer was the grandson of the former Canadian president, Sir John Abbott. However, there are hardly any fond memories of his childhood, as his parents got divorced soon after he was born. Besides the Academy Awards, Plummer has won another 34 prominent awards for his contribution to the field of cinema.
