While with that company he was 'Charles Chaplin' (qv)'s understudy, and he performed imitations of Chaplin. On a later trip he remained in the United States having been cast in a two-reel comedy, _Nuts in May (1917)_ (qv) (1917, released the following year).

Their last movie together was _The Bullfighters (1945)_ (qv) except for a French failure ("Atoll K", 1951). In 1960 he was given a special Oscar "for his creative pioneering in the field of cinema comedy". Five years later he died.Read more Stan Laurel movies (actor)
