著名喜劇演員卓別林

卓別林是一名卓越的演員，他主演并導演了多部杰出的喜劇。看見他的小胡子和手勢，還有面對警探追捕時有趣的反應，很少有人會覺得厭煩。喝醉酒，踩到香蕉皮滑倒，或者自言自語（低語）自己的糗事，他不需要任何語言解釋的表演總是讓我們對自己的生活感到更加滿意。他獨特的幽默感直到現在依然使世界各地的人們都感到驚訝。

在一部小預算電影里，他穿著磨破的鞋子和臟兮兮的衣服，扮演了一個貧窮又無家可歸的人。在一幕場景中，他被一場暴風雪困在一片多山的區域里。盡管他克服了許多困難，但是他還是運氣不好。粥都吃完了，他只好挑出一只鞋子煮來吃。他切下皮革的鞋底，像嚼烙餅一樣地咀嚼起來。據一名女演員所說，他的表演如此令人信服而又逗人發笑，讓在場的所有人都忍不住大笑起來。
