Ala Chaplin/Keaton/Lloyd/Laurel and Hardy...
Thoughts on the great ones?
If this morphs into later things related, that's OK too.
Like Jerry Lewis' or Mel Brooks' later continuance/tributes of this comic lineage etc.
Thanks, Chris

That Buster Chaplin fella was a much better chameleon than Oliver Keaton.

No wonder it's rare! And seldom well done. As the silence could be deadly. Unless there's a meating of mimes. But I wonder... What microphones did they use for Silent Films? Voila! Back on topic.  Chris |

Heck, I'll play. Keaton was my favorite (with Harold Lloyd deserving an honorable mention). He's one of the rare silent film stars who almost seamlessly transitioned to sound (hope that's relevant, Eric ;-). That unaware character Keaton often played was perfectly supported by his uninflected drone of a voice. I'd guess that just about every mic from the beginning until the 1960s was used on that voice.
