As the adorable star of one of the biggest and most-loved family movies of all time, it looked like Peter Ostrum, who played Charlie Bucket in 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, had a bright future in Hollywood. Yet, by the age of 12, the child star knew that the entertainment industry wasn't for him. In fact, he never acted again. Now 67, the former actor looks back fondly at being catapulted to fame as the movie's sweetest, most angelic Golden Ticket winner - but he's also proud to have dedicated his life to a fulfilling career as a veterinarian.
