The Cast Of Willy Wonka – See What They Are Up To Now

Peter Ostrum

In the original Willy Wonka Peter Ostrom played the original hero of the film, Charlie Bucket. He was the boy who found the last golden ticket, the big prize that would allow any winning child to visit Willy Wonka’s mysterious chocolate factory. Harkening from Cleveland, Peter was the perfect pick for the average boy surrounded by a bunch of greedy rich brats touring the chocolate factory.

Today, Peter still has his golden ticket from the movie props, however his life ticket wasn’t film or acting. Ironically, Peter was more at home around horses, and he decided to become a veterinarian instead with a specialty in large farm animals. Today, he still works his medical craft in the greater regional Cleveland area, but occasionally he whips out his golden ticket for the age-old fans.
