Plummer started his TV acting career in 1953 and spent about 12 years appearing in many British TV series and made for TV movies.
His big break came in 1965 when he starred as Capt. Von Trapp in THE SOUND OF MUSIC. After that he also starred in NIGHT OF THE GENERALS as Rommel, THE HIGH COMMISSIONER, THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE, and much more.
I remember him most from his surprise role as THE EMPORER in the 1979 Italian sci-fi film STARCRASH. It's one of my favorite films of all time so perhaps that is the reason. Plummer had a career that lasted 68 years and was a welcome face on the big or small screen.
He passed away on Feb. 5th, 2021 at the age of 91.
