About Platt
A surname with a lot of "juice," as they say, in Hollywood. In addition to veteran character actor Oliver Platt, there's La La Land producer Marc Platt and his actor son, Ben Platt, who won a Tony for Best Actor as the star of Broadway smash Dear Evan Hansen.
As a first name, though, Platt falls flat.
Pronounced PLAT.
As of October 2026, Platt ranked #4818 in US births in 1920 SSA.
