Charlie Chaplin was the most famous actor in early to mid Hollywood cinema and later also a notable director. His principal character was "The Tramp" - a vagrant with the refined manners and dignity of a gentleman who wears a tight coat, oversized pants and shoes, a derby or bowler hat, a bamboo cane, and his signature square mustache.
