Charlie Plummer
Biography
Charlie Plummer is an American actor who began as a child performer in short films and made his feature debut in David Chase's Not Fade Away (2012). Born in Poughkeepsie, New York, and raised in Cold Spring, he was introduced to acting by his theater-working parents. He first drew notice on Boardwalk Empire and Granite Flats, then took the lead in King Jack (2015). Wider recognition came in 2017, when he took the part of John Paul Getty III, the abducted heir, in All the Money in the World (2017) and a struggling teenager in Lean on Pete (2018); the latter brought him Venice's Marcello Mastroianni Award as best emerging performer.
