Christopher Plummer was an Academy Award-winning actor with a long and storied career. But while he was best known for playing Captain von Trapp in The Sound of Music, there was much more to the Canadian-born star. This is the untold truth of Christopher Plummer.

Christopher Plummer's grand stage presence might give the impression that he was from the sort of family that got dressed up for dinner and had entire rooms of their home dedicated to entertaining — and he absolutely was. According to The Washington Post, Plummer's family was established by John Abbott, a lawyer and Canadian prime minister who was given a knighthood in 1892. Plummer was born just a few decades later on December 13, 1929, and was always frank about the advantages he had as a child.

He credited his love of theater to the many evenings his family would spend reading aloud to one another. Since his love of theater was deep, Plummer was initially dismissive of film acting, writing in his memoir,

"[I] harbored the old-fashioned stage actor's snobbism toward moviemaking."

Furthermore, Plummer's upbringing was the sort that made him consider a career as a classical pianist first. He would later tell Vanity Fair that he thought acting was very similar to playing classical music, since, quote, "You make your own symphony out of words."
