Charlie Korsmo | Professor

American lawyer and actor Charlie Korsmo is best known for playing the kid in the film adaptation of Dick Tracy and as Jack Banning in the movie Hook. He also played other roles as a child actor, but he left Hollywood as he wanted to pursue another career path. Working in the legal profession first opened him to the many challenges of the world.

Later on, he became a professor at the Case Western Reserve University’s School of Law. How did he end up here when he initially had a diploma in Physics? It was perhaps his work at the Environmental Protection Agency and the House of Representatives that became the main driver. Owing to his vast government experience and deep knowledge of the law, President Barack Obama nominated him to be a member of the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation’s Board of Trustees in 2011.
