Oliver Platt
Known for
The reliable face in the third row of the poster: that has been Oliver Platt's territory for three decades, and few work it better. Born in Windsor, Ontario, in 1960 to an American diplomatic family, he broke in with 'Flatliners' (1990) and became the character actor of choice for lawyers, politicians and schemers in 'A Time to Kill' (1996), the disaster epic '2012' (2009) and the food-critic turn in 'Chef' (2014). Television rewarded him with 'Fargo' (2014), his long run as psychiatrist Daniel Charles in 'Chicago Med' (2015-) and the avuncular money man of 'The Bear'. Unfailingly precise, never vain.
