Christopher Plummer Net Worth $20 Million

To begin with, Plummer is the grandson of the Canadian Prime Minister Sir John Abbott. He was an only child, and his parents divorced when Christopher was a baby, so he was brought up in the house of the Abbott family.

Talking about his professional career, he debuted in Broadway’s “The Starcross Story” (1953). Five years later, he starred in the feature film “Stage Struck” (1958) directed by Sidney Lumet. However, his real breakthrough was the main role in the musical drama film “The Sound of Music” (1965) produced and directed by Robert Wise, which won among others five Academy Awards. During the 1970s, Plummer combined his film appearances with those in the theatre, in this way after winning ta Tony Award for “Cyrano de Bergerac” (1974), and he got into the skin of Rudyard Kipling in “The Man Who Would Be King” (1975). In “Murder by Decree” (1979) he was inducted into the list of actors who have portrayed Sherlock Holmes. His net worth was already well established.

In the 1980s, he focused on his career in the theatre, and played Iago in “Othello” (1982) and “Macbeth” (1988). He also performed in films including “Somewhere in Time” (1980) with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, as well as the remarkable historical film “The Scarlet and the Black” (1983) based on fact. In the middle of the 1990s, he returned to the movies with brief roles: the entrepreneur in “Lobo” (1994), the detective in “Total Eclipse” (1995), the virologist in “Twelve Monkeys” (1996) and others. In 1999, he won Boston Society of Film Critics, Los Angeles Film Critics Association and National Society of Film Critics Awards for the role of Mike Wallace in the film “The Insider”.

Then Hollywood began claiming his services more regularly, inviting him to star in “Beautiful Mind” (2001), “Ararat” (2002), “Nicholas Nickleby” (2002) and “Blizzard” (2003) for which the actor received nominations.

His recent and notable work is the role of Hal Fields in “Beginners” (2010), in which he plays an elderly widower who reveals to his son that he is gay. As the Best Supporting Actor, he won the Golden Globe, BAFTA, Hollywood Film Festival, Los Angeles Film Critics Association, as well as the Academy Award, and many others. Soon, the films “The Exception” (2016) and “Boundaries” (2017) will be released, in which Plummer is cast as the main.

In a remarkably consistent career, Christopher Plummer has appeared in more than 110 films, over 50 TV productions, and a dozen notable live stage performances, as well as voicing a few video games.

Finally, in the personal life of the actor, he married the actress Tammy Grimes in 1956. They have a daughter born in 1957, and named her Amanda after the character Amanda Payne from “Cowards Private Lives” – Amanda is also an actress. As a result, Christopher, Tammy and Amanda were the only family which has won a Tony award for their work in the theatre. The careers of both spouses asked too much of their attention, which resulted in their separation in 1960. From 1962 to 1967, Christopher was married with Patricia Lewis. In 1969, he met Elaine Regina Taylor during the filming of “Lock Up Your Daughters”. They married in 1970.

#Quote
1[on turning down the role of Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings trilogy] I don't know why I turned it down. I think it had to do with spending four years in New Zealand. There's other countries I want to visit before I croak. But Ian McKellen got the role and he was fantastic in it. He played the role really warm and kind and I hate the son-of-a-bitch!
2[observation, 2014] I'm thrilled to be around still, and I don't want to blow my horn, but I've done so many more parts than Barrymore ever got a chance to do. That Barrymore wasn't able - or willing to show his true range is one of the great missed opportunities of the theatrical stage. A terrible waste.
3I was much a part of live television in the '50s. There was something terribly honest about live television and terribly dangerous and terribly risky. You were bound to learn your lines without bumping into each other, which we did a lot of.
4The writing was superior [in the '50s]. But then we had all the best writers, Horton Foote and others, writing for this brash new medium. It was as exciting as hell. It was an adventure. Television has become a little glossy. A little too comfortable.
5[on Mike Wallace and his impact on public affairs programming] He had a lot to do with making it dangerous. He understood media. He understood how you could break down a person in front of a camera. It's a cruel medium. You have to deal with it skillfully. He was not a horrid man. I met him. He was very likable and very bright. But he knew it was a cruel medium and that it was an instant medium. It's now; it's in the moment. You can't rehearse it; you can't be glib. That's really what television is about. It's about what's happening in the streets, all the awful wars, all the awful things that are happening.
6Television is certainly more skilfully handled [now] than it was then. There are certain things, like Sherlock (2010), which is enchanting and perfectly right for a younger audience. And the truly wonderful thing about it is that it is not disloyal to the original. There's a Conan Doyle feeling about it - something that Doyle would have written for this age. Benedict [Cumberbatch] is a superb actor. I love his beats. Those are rare things that happen marvelously in this medium.
7I think many of today's politicians take a typical CEO mentality when it comes to the arts. It's anathema to them. It's the last thing they think of when it comes to funding; it's way down at the bottom of the list. That is unconscionable. It's so stupid and narrow-minded. They don't realize. It's all about political manoeuvring.
8[on cell-phones ringing during a live performance] The only thing to do is to say something like "I'll get it." The audience gives you applause because they hate it too.
9[to his Oscar statuette at the 2012 Academy Awards] You're only two years older than me, darling. Where have you been all my life?
10[a portion of his Oscar acceptance speech for Beginners (2010)] I would happily share this award with [Ewan McGregor] if I had any decency but I don't.
11The theatre is not for sissies. It separates the men from the boys.
12As T.S. Eliot measures his life with coffee spoons, so I measure mine by the plays I've been in. I'm too vague to measure any other way.
13Ewan (McGregor) doesn't act, he inhabits a role. And, of course, he makes you not act and inhabit the role, like it's a competition. I owe that to him.
14[on the ability to convey a sense of pathos] Very few people have it naturally - Chaplin, Brando. It's a gift. But you can learn how to fake it.
15[on receiving a Screen Actors Guild award for Beginners (2010)] I just can't tell you what fun I've had being a member of the world's second oldest profession. When they honor you, it's like being lit by the holy grail.
16[2011, a revised opinion on The Sound of Music (1965)] People were unnaturally sentimental about the film. So I always gave it a tough time. But a few years ago, I went to an Easter party and had to watch the damn thing with these kids. I was a prisoner! And then I thought, it's got everything - the lovely songs, the Nazis and the nuns and the kids. It's timeless and I'm grateful for it.
17Too many people in the world are unhappy with their lot. And then they retire and they become vegetables. I think retirement in any profession is death, so I'm determined to keep crackin'.
18[on the enduring appeal of The Sound of Music (1965)] Yeah, it drives me nuts. It has nothing to do with the movie, it's just a relentless pursuing of this film that goes on and on and I've gone on and on, far above and beyond it and then to be reminded of it, God almighty what is the matter with people?
19[on being asked whether he had made his peace with his most famous film The Sound of Music (1965)] Oh, God no.
20[on working with Michael Langham] When I did "Henry V", he changed my life. Really owe my career to Michael.
21[on working with Michael Langham] Hamlet can sound self-pitying. He's always whining, something being rotten in Denmark and the world so awful. To get over that, Michael suggested that because Hamlet himself had a large intellect, that he turned those complaining moments into a kind of wonderment and would analyze everything as a fresh discovery. It was a superb way of getting rid of the danger of self-pity, and an astounding piece of direction because it was valuable throughout the play.
22[on Franchot Tone, who starred onstage with him in "The Petrified Forest"] His sense of humor, as one might guess, was seemingly self-deprecating, drawn always from this inexplicable inner torment. These vulnerable qualities were to make his Chekovian performances ("Uncle Vanya" and "A Moon for the Misbegotten"), both of whom I later saw, so memorable - a rare combination of lightness and poignancy... I saw in him someone I could perhaps one day aspire to; not the hidden sad, pained man that was part of Franchot but the part he couldn't conceal, no matter how hard he tried, the part that was refined, noble and infinitely kind.
23[on working with Dame Julie Andrews] Working with her is like being hit over the head with a Valentine's card.
24I'm bored with questions about acting.
25Unless you can surround yourself with as many beautiful things as you can afford, I don't think life has very much meaning.
26[why he prefers playing evil characters] The devil is more interesting than God.
