Plummer's parents separated shortly after his birth, and he was brought up mainly by his mother in the Abbott family home inSenneville, Quebec, on the western tip of theIsland of Montreal. Aside from English, he spoke French fluently.[13][14] As a schoolboy, he began studying to be a concert pianist, but developed a love for theatre at an early age, and began acting while he was attending theHigh School of Montreal.[15][16] He took up acting after watchingLaurence Olivier's filmHenry V (1944).[17][18] He learned the basics of acting as an apprentice with the Montreal Repertory Theatre, where fellow MontrealerWilliam Shatner also played.[18]

[edit]

Plummer remains widely known for his portrayal ofCaptain Von Trapp due to the box-office success and continued popularity of theRobert Wise-directed musical epicThe Sound of Music (1965). Plummer acted alongsideJulie Andrews, and the film earned fiveAcademy Awards, includingBest Picture. Although he was embarrassed, at first, about the role, which Plummer described as "so awful and sentimental and gooey",[45] the film made cinematic history, becoming the all-time top-grossing film, eclipsingGone with the Wind.[46] He found all aspects of making the film unpleasant, except working with Andrews, and he avoided using its name, instead calling it "that movie", "S&M" and "The Sound of Mucus".[47][48] He declined to attend the 40th Anniversary cast reunion,[49] but he did provide commentary on the 2005 DVD release.[50]

He relented for the 45th anniversary and appeared with the full cast onThe Oprah Winfrey Show on October 28, 2010.[51] In 2009, Plummer said that he was "a bit bored with the character". He said: "Although we worked hard enough to make him interesting, it was a bit like flogging a dead horse. And the subject matter is not mine. I mean, it can't appeal to every person in the world."[5] However, he admitted that the film itself was well made and was proud to be associated with a film with such mass appeal. "But it was a very well-made movie, and it's a family movie and we haven't seen a family movie, I don't think, on that scale for ages."[52] In one interview he said that he had "terrific memories" of making the movie.[53]

He was inInside Daisy Clover (1965), then played World War Two agentEddie Chapman inTriple Cross (1966), and had a supporting role asField Marshal Erwin Rommel inThe Night of the Generals (1967). Plummer was cast to replaceRex Harrison for the film adaptation ofDoctor Dolittle. This decision was later reversed, but Plummer was nonetheless paid $87,500 for signing the contract. At the same time, Plummer was performing in the stage playThe Royal Hunt of the Sun and his wholeDolittle participation was so brief that Plummer never missed a performance.[54] Plummer had the title role inOedipus the King (1968) andThe High Commissioner (1968), playing an Australian in the latter. Plummer was one of many stars inBattle of Britain (1969), and the lead in a musical,Lock Up Your Daughters (1969).[35] In the 1969film adaptation of The Royal Hunt of the Sun, Plummer plays theInca EmperorAtahualpa toRobert Shaw's Pizarro.[55] On screen, Plummer portrayed theDuke of Wellington inWaterloo (1970).The Pyx (1973) was his first Canadian film. He playedRudyard Kipling inThe Man Who Would Be King (1975).

The plays he appeared in wereJean Giraudoux'sAmphitryon 38 directed byLaurence Olivier;[56]Georg Büchner'sDanton's Death (directorJonathan Miller);Adrian Mitchell'sTyger;Luigi Pirandello'sThe Rules of the Game; andEugene O'Neill'sLong Day's Journey into Night at the New Theatre in London. From May to June 1973, he appeared on Broadway asthe title character inCyrano, a musical adaptation ofEdmond Rostand's 1897 playCyrano de Bergerac byAnthony Burgess and Michael J. Lewis. For that performance, Plummer won theTony Award for Best Actor in a Musical and aDrama Desk Award for Outstanding Performance. Later that year, he playedAnton Chekhov inNeil Simon's adaptation of several Chekhov short stories,The Good Doctor.[57] Another notable play in which he appeared was the 1974 adaptation ofArthur Miller'sAfter the Fall, in which he played Quentin (a part originated on Broadway byJason Robards[58]) oppositeFaye Dunaway's Maggie.[59]

[edit]

During this time Plummer appeared in the romantic dramaSomewhere in Time (1980), the dramaEyewitness (1981), the comedyDragnet (1987) andShadow Dancing (1988). Plummer also did some voice work, such as his role of Henri the pigeon inAn American Tail (1986) and the villainous Grand Duke of Owls inRock-a-Doodle (1991), both directed byDon Bluth. In 1982, he starred onBroadway production of the Shakespearean tragedyOthello, playingIago oppositeJames Earl Jones' Moor.[63] The production also featured performances fromKelsey Grammer as Cassio andDianne Wiest as Desdemona.New York Times theatre criticFrank Rich wrote in his original review, "Mr. Plummer, a sensational actor in peak form, has made something crushing out of Shakespeare's archvillain. He gives us evil so pure - and so bottomless - that it can induce tears. Our tears are not for the dastardly Iago, of course - that would be wrong. No, what Mr. Plummer does is make us weep for a civilization that can produce such a man and allow him to flower."[64] For his performance he received aTony Award for Best Actor in a Play nomination losing toRoger Rees inThe Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby.[65]

In 1987, Plummer provided theEnglish narration forFrédéric Back's animated filmThe Man Who Planted Trees. The film wonBest Animated Short at the60th Academy Awards.[66][67] In 1988, he starred in another Shakespeare adaptation on Broadway in the title role inMacbeth withGlenda Jackson playing hislady.[68] Frank Rich wrote of his performance "Mr. Plummer's thoughtful, beautifully spoken performance best illuminates the strengths and built-in limitations of the entire enterprise. This actor grapples arrestingly with his early bouts of conscience, ashorrible imaginings send Macbeth's heart knocking at his ribs."[69] From 1990 to 1993, he starred in the Canadian-French drama seriesCounterstrike. From 1993 to 1995, he narrated the animated television seriesMadeline, for which he received anEmmy Award, as well as the animated television seriesThe World of David the Gnome.[70] He appeared withJason Robards in the 1994 revival ofHarold Pinter'sNo Man's Land by theRoundabout Theatre Company.Variety film critic Jeremy Gerard praised Plummer's performance while critiquing Robards by writing, "They're a remarkable pair to watch wrangling with Pinter's elliptical, often uncrackable script. As it happens, Plummer emerges triumphant, while Robards seems utterly at sea...Plummer plays the humour and the bathos with equal ease and complete conviction. By turns funny and heartbreaking, it's an exquisite, haunting performance."[71] For his performance Plummer received his fourthTony Award nomination.[72]

Plummer achieved great success in the 1997 Broadway production of theWilliam Luce playBarrymore portrayingJohn Barrymore a few months before his death.Vincent Canby in hisNew York Times review he praised Plummer for his performance "With the confidence of the superb actor he has become, and in the trim of an athlete, Christopher Plummer is here in a new play, giving an achingly funny, memorably strong and debonair performance".[73] After a successful run on Broadway he went on tour with production. His performance brought him his secondTony Award (this time asBest Actor in a Play) and aDrama Desk Award as Outstanding Actor in a Play. Plummer continued acting in films including the science fiction filmStar Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991), which was a welcome opportunity for him since he was a fan of theStar Trek franchise which also allowed him to perform with his former understudy and long-time friend,William Shatner.[74] He also appeared inSpike Lee's biographical dramaMalcolm X (1992),Mike Nichols' horror dramaWolf (1994),Taylor Hackford's psychological dramaDolores Claiborne (1995), andTerry Gilliam's science fiction drama12 Monkeys (1995).

The film, written and directed byWilliam Shatner, sees Shatner interview Plummer at theStratford Shakespeare Festival Theatre where they talk about their young careers, long lasting friendship, and Plummer's role asChang inStar Trek VI.

Co-starsMark Wahlberg andMichelle Williams were part of the necessary filming.[94] The decision was made not long before the scheduled release date of December 22.TriStar Pictures intended to meet that release date in spite of the tight re-shooting and editing schedule; it was eventually pushed back to December 25.[95][96] For his performance, Plummer was nominated for theGolden Globe,[1]British Academy Film Award[3] and Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actor.[97] Eric Kohn ofIndieWire wrote of his performance, "Plummer is a world-class performer who endows Getty with a smarmy obstinance that aligns with the movie’s blunt storytelling".[98]

He starred in theRian Johnson directed mystery thriller ensemble filmKnives Out (2019) alongsideAna de Armas,Daniel Craig,Chris Evans,Don Johnson,Jamie Lee Curtis,Lakeith Stanfield andMichael Shannon. Plummer plays Harlan Thrombey, a wealthy mystery novelist whose family is celebrating his 85th birthday party when a death occurs.
