Paris Themmen Career

Career

Themmen appeared in radio and TV commercials, voice-overs and theater performing on Broadway in Mame with Ann Miller in 1967 and in The Rothschilds in 1970. In 1971, aged 11, he got his breakthrough role in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as Mike Teevee.

Declaring a hiatus from acting at age 14 to "just be a kid," Themmen went on to receive a B.F.A. in theatre from New York University. He founded Access International, a travel service that arranged Europe-bound charter flights for backpackers.

Following brief stints in real estate, film production, commercial casting, business representation at Walt Disney Imagineering, and a few other ventures, he now signs autographs at movie conventions, runs a photography business, and makes sporadic appearances in commercials, plays and TV shows.

Themmen's adult acting appearances include "Virtuoso", a 2000, sixth-season episode of the TV series Star Trek: Voyager, as a fawning fan. He was billed as a "former child star" in two 2008 episodes of the American game show Duel.

On May 4, 2011, Themmen appeared on the British television morning show Daybreak, alongside the other child actors from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory: Peter Ostrum (Charlie Bucket), Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca Salt), Denise Nickerson (Violet Beauregarde) and Michael Bollner (Augustus Gloop). They made an additional 40th Anniversary reunion appearance on NBC's Today Show eleven days later. He reunited with the partial Wonka cast again on the program in 2015.

On January 23, 2015, Themmen appeared on Ken Reid's TV Guidance Counselor Podcast. The episode was recorded live in Wilmington, Massachusetts during North East ComicCon.

Themmen was a Jeopardy! contestant on March 13, 2018, finishing in second place. His wife, Nikki Grillos, previously appeared on the program in 2015, returning twice as a champion before being defeated on her third appearance.

Where are the cast of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory now? As actors who played Veruca Salt and Mike Teavee perform in Edinburgh Fringe musical, how stars of the 1971 hit film followed very different career paths

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 16, 2024
Julie Dawn Cole and Paris Themmen will co-narrate the Willy's Candy Spectacular: A Musical Parody' at the Edinburgh Fringe in August. The duo played Veruca Salt and Mike Teavee in the classic 1971 film, which starred Gene Wilder as the wacky ever-lasting gobstopper inventor Willy Wonka. The family favourite, based on Roald Dahl 's 1964 book, tells the story of five schoolchildren who win the chance to tour the magical factory belonging to candy man Wonka after finding golden tickets hidden inside chocolate bars. For some of the child stars it helped propel them into successful showbusiness careers, while others shied away from the limelight in favour of a life as an accountant or vet. With Wonka back in the news today, MailOnline has taken a look at where the stars of the hit film are now.

Edinburgh Fringe musical comedy about infamous £35-a-head Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow will feature original Veruca Salt and Mike Teavee from hit 1971 film

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 16, 2024
Julie Dawn Cole and Paris Themmen played the original Veruca Salt and Mike Teavee in Mel Stuart's 1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory which starred Gene Wilder. The pair will now be returning to narrate 'Willy's Candy Spectacular: A Musical Parody' at the Edinburgh Fringe in August. The musical comedy is based on an 'immersive' Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow earlier this year which descended into chaos after parents paid £35-a-head to turn up at a near empty warehouse. 'Willy's Chocolate Experience' promised to transport children into a 'magical realm' full of sweet treats and 'enchanting experiences' but left them in tears after they were offered just two jelly beans, a quarter can of limeade, and a small, uninspiring bouncy castle.
