His grandfather was the well known architect Geoffrey Platt, and Platt was also related to Princess Diana of Wales. Oliver Platt grew up in the USA, since his family moved to Washington shortly after his birth. 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).

1Often plays intelligent and quick-witted characters
#Quote
1My background is very conventional WASP, but because of my coloring... I don't look like a WASP.
2[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.
3[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.
4[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.
5The 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.
#Fact

5In the 1950s, his great-grandmother Cynthia Burke Roche resided at the famous Elm Court mansion in Newport, Rhode Island.

Her father Frank's fortune was estimated at $15 million, and he served as stockbroker to Commodore Vanderbilt.
7Since Diana Spencer was the great-granddaughter of the 3rd Baron Fermoy and Platt was his great-great-grandson, this makes him a second-cousin, once-removed, of Princess Diana, Princess of Wales. By extension, he is the third cousin of Prince William.
8His mother, Sheila Maynard, was the daughter of Walter Maynard and wife Eileen Burden Maynard Robins (October 15, 1910 - March 24, 1970) and a granddaughter of the Hon.

Cynthia was the sister of Edmund Maurice Burke-Roche, 4th Baron Fermoy in the Peerage of Ireland (of Irish and English extraction and son of the American heiress Frances Ellen Work), who was the maternal grandfather of Diana, Princess of Wales.
9He is the son of Nicholas Platt (born October 3, 1936, New York, NY), a career American diplomat, and wife Sheila Maynard, a clinical social worker who worked in Islamabad.
10He is also the paternal grandson of American architect Geoffrey Platt (by whom he has remote Dutch American ancestry) and wife Helen Choate.
