Peter Ostrum
Peter Ostrum had the opportunity of a lifetime when he was cast to play Charlie in Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. While it was undeniably an iconic role, his passion lies somewhere else. The former child star was an animal lover and he decided to make it official. He enrolled at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. These days, he works as a vet and primarily takes care of horses and cattle.
