Christopher Plummer has died. The 91-year-old passed away at his home in Connecticut.
While the veteran was an award-winning star of stage and screen, he was best known for playing Captain von Trapp in “The Sound of Music.” He also became the oldest actor ever to win an Academy Award for supporting actor in 2012 for his work in “Beginners.” He was also known for “The Insider,” “12 Monkeys,” “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country,” and “A Beautiful Mind.” and he contributed voices for “Up,” “An American Tale” and the “Madeline” TV series.
Plummer was nominated for a supporting actor Oscar for his role as J Paul Getty in Ridley Scott’s “All the Money in the World.” He replaced Kevin Spacey after Spacey was accused of sexual misconduct, completely reshooting his scenes only one month before the film’s release in December of 2017.
