Jack From Hook Is Unrecognizable Today

Following his graduation from MIT, Charlie Korsmo moved to Washington D.C., where he thought he would put his degree to use and get a job within the science realm. Instead, the former child star took on a number of jobs within public policy, and he soon concluded that a law degree would help him excel in that path. His time in the nation’s capital was formative, to say the least — but no, he’s not interested in becoming an elected official one day. As he joked to The Bemidji Pioneer, “I think working and living in Washington for a couple years cured me of ever wanting to do that again.”

After D.C., Charlie headed to Yale Law School, where he would actually end up meeting his wife, Adrienne Korsmo. He graduated in 2006. The pair moved to New York City after he earned his law degree, and Charlie would pass the New York Bar exam in 2007.

After law school, he spent time working for a 2nd Circuit Court judge. He also was an associate for Sullivan & Cromwell for a few years, and he genuinely enjoyed the time that he spent taking on this role. When asked by Chambers Associate what he expected from a career in law, Charlie lightly responded, “Flexibility, more than anything, which has worked out nicely. That, and gouts of cash, which hasn’t worked out as well.”
