Early Career

      Charlie Chaplin (also known as The Tramp) was both a filmmaker and an actor. He was also from England and moved to America for an opportunity of becoming successful.  One of his famous quotes, “A day without laughter is a day wasted,” inspired many young actors at the time. It especially inspired Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks who helped him with his own studio. Chaplin also helped established the United Artists’ Company. This is where some of his famous films were put on the big screen in cinemas and nickelodeons.

Disadvantages

And also his mother who had been in and out of mental institutes. Charlie was forced to live on the streets with his half brother, Sydney.  He was also accused of being a communist. But to overcome all of this, Chaplin put it in the back of his mind and became “America’s King of Comedy.”
