**Christopher Plummer (1929-2021)** was a Canadian actor with a long and illustrious career. Known for his refined versatility and an elegant stage presence, Plummer was able to portray a wide range of characters.

He achieved worldwide fame with the role of Captain Georg von Trapp in *The Sound of Music* (Tutti insieme appassionatamente, 1965), although he later often expressed the desire not to be solely identified with it. Often favored for roles of complex, authoritative figures or intellectually charming antagonists, his filmography includes titles such as *The Insider* (Insider - Dietro la verità, 1999) and *A Beautiful Mind* (2001).

In his later years, he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for *Beginners* (2010) and demonstrated his extraordinary professionalism by stepping in at the last minute for Kevin Spacey in *All the Money in the World* (Tutti i soldi del mondo, 2017), earning another nomination. He continued to act successfully until the end, with hits like *Knives Out* (Cena con delitto - Knives Out, 2019).
