Peter Ostrum
He played the young Charlie Bucket in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory , but this was to be Ostrum's first and last role in Hollywood. While his younger face may be recognized by millions who have watched the film and envied the character which he played, Hollywood was not the path Ostrum continued to follow. His focus turned to animals, and he now resides in New York state, where he works as a vet specializing in large animals.
