Mr. Plummer should definitely win an oscar, and be a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors. If nothing else at least he should be honored by the academy of motion picures for his life time achievements. I predict this is going to happen and wonder how an actor is chosen for this. I will have to google to get the information about it….

Christopher Plummer is forever reinventing himself as an actor and he is such an interesting character and has remained somewhat mysterious through the years. I wanted to find out more about him after seeing the Sound of Music a few days after the Oprah show aired on Oct 2010 with Mr Plummer and the cast of the Sound of Music. This was a very informative and interesting interview because I want to see many of the movies that Mr Plummer has done which I have not seen because I was unaware of them. It was also interesting to read about his personal life and that he has a daughter who is an actress and in some of the pictures of her she looks just like her father. The talent will continue on…..I want to read the book also…..

I have been in awe of Mr Plummer since I was 14 (I’m now 60) and he is, to me, a very special actor, filling the screen. I have just recently bought his book “In Spite of Myself” and look forward to reading it. My ambition (since 14) has been to meet him – I just cannot imagine how I would react in the presence of the man – but I guess it will never happen but I can hope! Another of my favourite actors is Brian Dennehy and I would just have been in 7th heaven to get a ticket to see them both in my fav movie “Inherit The Wind”. It wasn’t to be but maybe one day Mr Plummer will come to Scotland where I live and just maybe I would be able to meet him and my dream will be realised !!

You only need to check Mr. Plummer’s page out at imdb to see the astounding length and breadth of his career, and that doesn’t even include his theatrical appearances! It is truly amazing. Plus, it seems he has worked with or known just about everyone who was anyone in the last 50 years – another reason I can’t wait to read his autobiography. He is a treasure.

This article was a true joy to read, a very interesting perspective of Christopher Plummer reflecting on his career as he sees it now. It will certainly inspire his fans in younger generations, such as myself, to read his book and enjoy some of these classic films.

This man is the best and has never picked up an Oscar! His Film, “The man in the chair”, should have given him one and he did’nt even get a nomination? Two of his contemperaires Brando and George C. Scott did win and snubbed the thing with contempt. I will be buying his book and am interested to see what his feelings are concerning OSCAR. As with your interview im Quite sure he will handle it with grace and class. Thay say you should never meet your heros so you will not be dissapointed. I have been a fan of his for years and have never been disapointed. I am confident if I ever did meet him this would not change.

Thanks for your very informative interview with Mr Plummer. I call him Mr because I feel that he should have the upmost of respect. I have just watched the Lake House one of my favorite movies with him in it. Whilst his role is not large I feel that what you see on screen is to me perhaps “just a little” of the real Christopher Plummer. I love his lust for life, he has that spark even at eightly that I admire. I’m going to hunt out his autobiography tomorrow, because yes, I do like to read a good book. I laughed that he called the Sound of Music the Sound of Mucus. Whilst the film is a classic and I do love him in it, to each his own. You, Mr Plummer are a true character and keep making those films.

I have been showing the video of the Sound Of Music to my middle school students…they love it! It troubled me when I read that Mr. Plummer considered the Sound of Music as the Sound of Mucus! While I will not mention that to my students, it unfortunately taints my feelings towards the musical now…Perhaps, ‘honesty’ is not always the best policy, yes?
