Plummer, [Arthur] Christopher [ORME] (B. 1929), ACTOR. THE CANADIAN‐BORN PERFORMER HAS APPEARED IN NUMEROUS SHAKESPEAREAN ROLES WITH FESTIVALS IN CANADA AND ABROAD AND WON PRAISE FOR HIS IAGO IN A 1981 BROADWAY REVIVAL OF
Othello. Among his other memorable assignments have been the Earl of Warwick in
The Lark (1955), the satanic Nickles in
J. B. (1958), Pizarro in
The Royal Hunt of the Sun (1965), Cyrano de Bergerac in the musical
Cyrano (1973), various Russians in
The Good Doctor (1973),
Macbeth (1988), Spooner in
No Man's Land (1994),
Barrymore (1997), and
King Lear (2002 and 2004). Dashing, romantic, and yet cynical, Plummer exudes an old‐school charisma on stage but never stoops to histrionic tricks.
