| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | My 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. |
| 5 | The 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 |
|---|---|
| 1 | His paternal great-grandfather was landscape gardener/designer, artist, and architect, Charles A. Platt, and among his great-great-grandfathers are diplomat and lawyer Joseph Hodges Choate (on his father's side) and general Robert Shaw Oliver (on his mother's side). |
| 2 | Appeared in three movies with Kevin Bacon: Flatliners (1990), Frost/Nixon (2008) and X: First Class (2011). |
| 3 | Making his Broadway debut in Conor McPherson's Shining City, at the Biltmore Theatre on Broadway. His brilliant performance was honored with a Tony nomination for best actor. [June 2006] |

| 5 | In the 1950s, his great-grandmother Cynthia Burke Roche resided at the famous Elm Court mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. |
| 6 | His great-great-grandmother Frances Ellen Work's fortune was based on a maternal pork-packing fortune created in Chillicothe, Ohio, and a paternal dry good and finance fortune created in New York City. Her father Frank's fortune was estimated at $15 million, and he served as stockbroker to Commodore Vanderbilt. |
| 7 | Since 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. |
| 8 | His 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 Burke-Roche (October 4, 1884 - August 12, 1966), who married (1) Arthur Scott Burden (August 11, 1879 - June 15, 1921) in 1906, and (2) Guy Fairfax Cary Sr. (November 14, 1879 - August 27, 1950) in 1922. 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. |
| 9 | He 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. |
| 10 | He is also the paternal grandson of American architect Geoffrey Platt (by whom he has remote Dutch American ancestry) and wife Helen Choate. |
| 11 | High school graduate from the Colorado Rocky Mountain School in Carbondale, Colorado (near Aspen). The school's main curriculum is based on the "Outward Bound" education program, which teaches wilderness survival and expedition courses. |
| 12 | Was friends with Huff (2004) co-star Hank Azaria at Tufts University. |
| 13 | Was a Boston Red Sox fan, but is now a New York Mets fan because his son likes the team. |
| 14 | Has an older brother, Adam Platt, New York Magazine restaurant critic, and a younger brother, Nicholas Platt, Jr.. |
| 15 | Three children: Lily (b. 1995), George (b. 1997), and Claire (b. 1999). |
| 16 | Attended Tufts University. |
| 17 | His father, Nicholas Platt, is an ex ambassador to Pakistan, Zambia, & the Phillipines. |
| 18 | David E. Kelley originally wanted him to play the role of Bobby Donnell on the TV show The Practice (1997). |
