 Traxectoria 
Plummer naceu en Toronto e criouse en Senneville, Quebec. Debutou no cinema en Stage Struck (1958), de Sidney Lumet, e fíxose especialmente coñecido entre o público pola súa interpretación do capitán Georg von Trapp no filme musical Sorrisos e lágrimas (1965) xunto a Julie Andrews.

Durante a súa carreira recibiu varios premios, incluídos o Óscar ao mellor actor secundario, dous premios Emmy, dous premios Tony, un Globo de Ouro e un premio da BAFTA, sendo un dos poucos intérpretes (o único canadense) que recibiu a chamada Triple Crown of Acting.
