Personal Quote:

[on Charles Chaplin] I have always regretted not having been his partner in a longer film than these one-reelers we made so rapidly. He is a complete comic genius, undoubtedly the only one of our time and he will be the only one who will be still talked about a century from now. See more »

Trivia:

Profiled in "American Classic Screen Profiles" by John C. Tibbets and James M. Welch (2010). See more »

Trademark:

Apart from the fact that he was overweight and thus nicknamed "Fatty," he usually wore bowler-hat and pants whose legs were too short. See more »
