Who is Dr. Pol’s adopted son? Charles Pol – Wiki Bio
Charles Pol was born in Central Michigan, USA, on 6 March 1979, so under the zodiac sign of Pisces and holding American nationality – he’s mostly popular for being an adoptive son of Dr. Pol, and for being part of the main cast of Dr. Pol’s reality TV show entitled “The Incredible Dr. Pol”.
School and early life
Charles spent his childhood in Central Michigan alongside his adoptive parents Dr. Jan Pol and Diane Pol, and his biological sister Kathy Pol who they adopted as well – his second sister is Diane Jr and she was adopted at the age of 18. As Charles hasn’t talked about his biological parents, nothing is known about them.
Charles was raised on a farm, and has been helping his father at his clinic since he was five years old – he was firstly doing mostly farm calls, and helping the animals he could, which he enjoyed, as he was and still is a big lover of animals, but eventually decided to go after a rather different profession than veterinary. His parents supported his decision to become part of the entertainment industry, and with their help, he enrolled at the University of Miami, and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in major communications in 2003.
A bit about Dr. Jan Pol
Charles’ father Dr. Jan Pol was born and raised in the Netherlands on his family’s farm, so has been surrounded by animals throughout his entire life. While he has launched his own show “The Incredible Dr. Pol”, he is also a writer, as he has published his best-selling book “Never Turn Your Back On An Angus Cow: My Life as a Country Vet”.
Charles has been actively working as a veterinarian since the ‘70s, and has allegedly had more than 23,000 clients, and worked with a wide variety of animals from mice and snakes to cows and horses. He can speak four languages fluently: English, Dutch, German, and French, and is considered to be the absolute favorite veterinarian in the US.
Charles’ career of an actor
Charles moved to Los Angeles as soon as he received his bachelor’s degree, and started working in production for some of the most popular US companies involved in films, including Paramount Pictures, Parkway Production, and Mirage Enterprises.
His career of an ‘actor’ – really TV celebrity – was launched in 2011, when he was cast in his father’s show “The Incredible Dr. Pol”, the idea originally his, and he’s now also works as the show’s executive producer. The show airs on the National Geographic channel, and follows Dr. Pol’s family and their team as they treat injured and sick animals, and help other farmers with whatever they can.
The show made them look as heroes, and actually many people living on farms close to them have stated that Dr. Pol’s family have made their lives of farmers a lot easier. Current cast members of the show include Dr. Jan Pol, Charles Pol, Diane Pol, Dr. Emily Thomas, and Dr. Brenda Grettenberger.
While Charles has mostly become popular thanks to this show, he has also appeared in “The Legend of Sheriff Gus Skinner” TV series in 2013, and “Calling Dr. Pol” series in 2014.

Charles met Beth Oakes while he was still attending high school, and the two soon became best friends, and throughout their teenage years, then stayed in contact when they went to different universities. Their status of close friends changed to being in a relationship in 2017 – they announced it during the 12th season of “The Incredible Dr. Pol” as they were both participants. On 27 January 2018, Charles uploaded a picture of a ring on Beth’s ring finger, meaning the two have been engaged for more than a year and a half now but still haven’t talked about exchanging their wedding vows.
While Charles hasn’t talked about any other girls he might have dated throughout the years, his sister Diane Jr uploaded a picture of Charles with a woman named Kelly in 2012, as they were going to a Halloween party, and she addressed her as his girlfriend. Neither Kelly nor Charles have confirmed that they were dating, but even if they were, their relationship obviously hasn’t worked out.
