1921 'The Nut' starring Douglas Fairbanks


In an uncredited cameo, Charlie Chaplin plays... a Charlie Chaplin impersonator! Take a look around minute 14:23 of this video.

He is also the author of Totally Useless Skills, and Totally Useless Skills For Kids, as well as the videos Totally Useless Skills, and Totally Useless Office Skills.

(Does anyone out there have any more information about this individual? I'm very curious about what program these clips are from.)
