Since its inception in 2005, the North Carolina Film Office has been instrumental in bringing a wide variety of productions to film in the state. With world-class crews and talent, as well as a 25% refundable tax credit, North Carolina offers a tremendous opportunity for production companies looking to maximize their budgets while minimizing their time away from home.
North Carolina’s world-class crew base is one of the largest east of Los Angeles, with more than 2,000 experienced professionals and an additional 11,000+ skilled workers available for hire. Many of these individuals have worked on high-budget studio films and major network television shows.

Hello, I am Charlie Bucket and I will be your host for this blog. I would like to thank you for joining us.
In the beginning of my career, I didn’t really have the confidence that I had the ability or talent to act. Acting was something I was always interested in, but it wasn’t until later in highschool when I realized that acting is not just about being able to memorize lines or knowing who your character is. Being an actor means being able to express yourself and put passion into your role.
I began my acting career in a small local community theatre production. It was there that I discovered how much fun acting could be and how fulfilling it is to be able to play a character and bring them to life. The audiences were always so supportive and they were always willing to give feedback on how they felt about the performances.
By working with different directors, producers, and other actors, I’ve been able to get valuable feedback on how to improve my skills as an actor. This has been very helpful in building my portfolio and getting more experience as an actor. So if you are interested in acting, don’t be afraid! It may be scary at first but once you get over the nerves it can be very rewarding.
We are always looking for new talent to join our growing list of actors.
Charlie Bucket is a character from the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, as well as its sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. He is depicted as an impoverished young boy living with his parents and four grandparents in a dilapidated house. He wins a Golden Ticket to tour Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory with his Grandpa Joe. His story was adapted into two films: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory in 1971, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 2005.
The name “Charlie Bucket” was not used in the original 1964 edition of Roald Dahl’s book, where he was simply called “Charlie”. It was added in the revised edition published in 1973, which coincided with the release of Mel Stuart’s film adaptation Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

The Charlie Bucket Actor.
Charlie Bucket has been played by three different actors: Peter Ostrum, Paris Themmen, and Augustus Gloop.
Peter Ostrum was the first actor to play Charlie Bucket in the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. He was a 12-year-old boy when he got the role of Charlie Bucket. After filming was over, he went back home to Cleveland, Ohio and decided to pursue a career in veterinary medicine instead of acting.
Paris Themmen was a child actor who portrayed Mike Teevee in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. He also voiced Charlie Bucket in the 1985 animated musical special Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory featuring songs from the movie. He started acting at age 8 and starred in many commercials before being cast as Mike Teevee in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. In addition, he appeared on TV shows such as Love American Style and Bewitched and made guest appearances on Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color, The Six Million Dollar Man, Ellery Queen, and Police Woman. He eventually retired from acting at age 17 and pursued a career as an investment banker.
