He graduated from Tufts University in 1983, where he met the actor Hank Azaria, who would become his best friend.

Talking about his professional career, Platt debuted in single episodes of television series “The Equalizer” (1987) and “Miami Vice” (1988). The same year, he starred alongside Alec Baldwin and Michelle Pfeiffer in the comedy film “Married to the Mob” directed by Jonathan Demme.

In 2005, he successfully portrayed Paprizzio in the film “Casanova”, for which he was nominated for a number of awards and won the New York Film Critics Online Award. More, nominations for Screen Actors Guild Award and Primetime Emmy Award Platt were received respectively for his roles in “The Bronx Is Burning” (2007) and “Nip/Tuck” (2007 – 2008).

Oliver James Platt Trademarks

  1. Often plays intelligent and quick-witted characters

Oliver James Platt Quotes

  • My background is very conventional WASP, but because of my coloring… I don’t look like a WASP.
  • [on his role in Bulworth (1998)] That was a lot of fun. It was kind of a movie-making highlight for me, because Mr. Beatty invited me into his process in a very personal way. He was Warren Beatty, you know what I mean? I grew up watching his movies. It was a thrill. It was a lot of late nights and craziness, but I’m very glad to be in the movie. I love the role, and I love the movie.
  • [on his role in The Ice Harvest (2005)] That is one of my favourite characters that I’ve ever played in, of course, a typically completely under-watched movie. I was deeply in love with that character, this kind of lost, bumbling soul.
  • [on filming The Three Musketeers (1993)] That was a really fun shoot. We were in Vienna and all over Europe in these glamorous locations, and you were getting to be in The Three Musketeers. Riding around on horses with pipes and going wrenching-I got nothing bad to say.
  • The only thing I wanted to do when I was a young naive kid was to become a New York stage actor. I thought that would be nirvana. I think of myself as an actor. If other people want to pigeonhole me, if they want to think of me as a big deal or a medium deal or a small deal, well, that’s up to them.
