Christopher Plummer

While filming for The Sound of Music was underway, Christopher became very upset at the idea of having his singing voice dubbed. He threatened to walk away from the project altogether if they did this. Ultimately, they let Christopher do his own singing first, and then he would decide for himself if his voice was good enough. In the end, he agreed that it would be better to be dubbed.

Christopher has been nominated for two SAG Awards. In 2006, he was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries for Our Fathers. In 2002, he was nominated for Outstanding Performance by the Cast of a Theatrical Motion Picture for A Beautiful Mind.

On June 19, 2007 Christopher was one of 115 people to be admitted to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences which is the group whose members vote on Academy Award nomination ballots.
