## Bio

Arthur Christopher Orme Plummer began in Ottawa theater and reached Broadway in 1954 with The Starcross Story. He won two Tony Awards, first as Cyrano de Bergerac in 1974 and later as John Barrymore in 1997, with nominations spanning five other productions. His film debut came in 1958, but household recognition arrived in 1965 as Captain von Trapp in The Sound of Music opposite Julie Andrews. Through the decades he worked steadily - The Man Who Would Be King, Star Trek VI, The Insider, A Beautiful Mind - until late-career Oscar nominations for The Last Station and All the Money in the World bracketed his 2011 win for Beginners. He became the only Canadian to claim the Triple Crown of Acting, collecting an Emmy and BAFTA along the way, and kept working into his final year with Knives Out.
