For most of his acting career, Christopher Plummer was the greatest actor who never won an Oscar, and then at age 82, he became the oldest person in Academy history to win one. You probably know him from his younger days when he played Captain Von Trapp opposite Julie Andrews in the movie adaptation of "The Sound of Music" (1965). He's also been hailed as the finest 20th century Shakespearean actor to come out of North America. He's won one Oscar, two Tonys, and two Emmys and recently appeared with Asner as the voice of the explorer Charles Muntz in "Up."
