Early Life & Education

Charlie Faulkner Plummer was born on May 24, 1999, in Poughkeepsie, New York, and grew up primarily in Cold Spring, New York, in a family immersed in the arts.

His parents are theater actress Maia Guest and writer-producer John Christian Plummer, whose careers led to frequent moves during his childhood, resulting in him attending seven different schools—three in Los Angeles, two in upstate New York, and two in New York City.

To accommodate his early acting commitments, he later transferred to the Professional Children’s School in Manhattan. He has one younger brother, James Plummer. Despite being very shy as a child, Plummer was introduced to acting early through his parents’ work in theater, participating in local stage productions of plays and musicals that sparked his passion for performing.

His ethnicity is mixed European, primarily English, German, Scottish, and French, with some additional distant roots. Regarding religion, sources indicate a Christian background, with his parents having married in an Episcopalian ceremony.

Career

Charlie Plummer began his acting career at a young age, first gaining experience on television with recurring roles on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire from 2011 to 2013 and on the BYUtv drama Granite Flats from 2013 to 2015.

He made his feature film debut in 2012 with a small role in David Chase’s Not Fade Away, but his early promise became more apparent with his first leading performance in the independent coming-of-age drama King Jack (2015). The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, won the Audience Award, and showcased Plummer as a compelling young lead capable of emotional vulnerability.

His major breakthrough arrived in 2017 with two high-profile performances. He portrayed John Paul Getty III, the kidnapped grandson of an oil tycoon, in Ridley Scott’s thriller All the Money in the World, acting opposite Michelle Williams and Mark Wahlberg.

That same year, he delivered a widely acclaimed turn in Andrew Haigh’s A24 drama Lean on Pete, playing a displaced teenager who forms a bond with a racehorse while navigating abandonment and survival. The performance earned him the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Emerging Actor at the Venice Film Festival and established him as one of the year’s most notable breakout actors.

Plummer went on to build a diverse body of work, appearing in the horror-thriller The Clovehitch Killer (2018), the independent dramas Gully and Share (both released in 2019), and leading Hulu’s miniseries adaptation of Looking for Alaska (2019) as Miles “Pudge” Halter.

In 2020, he starred in two well-received teen-focused films: the dark comedy Spontaneous and the psychological drama Words on Bathroom Walls, in which he portrayed a young man living with schizophrenia.

In recent years, his credits have included Wildflower (2022), National Anthem (2023), the Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk (2025), and the dark comedy My New Friend Jim (2025).

He has also lined up several forthcoming projects, including the thriller Sunny opposite Angelina Jolie and the drama Ibelin alongside Anthony Hopkins and Toni Collette, with production on the latter scheduled for 2026.

Across his career, Plummer has consistently gravitated toward introspective, emotionally layered characters, balancing independent cinema with selective roles in larger studio productions.
