None of the above - not Chaplin, Laurel or Fairbanks. And definitely not Dan Rather!
Some more clues:
Like Chaplin and Laurel, he was not born in the US. And, like them, he found his greatest fame from his work in this country (but he was known internationally). His film career started back in the days of silent movies and lasted nearly fifty years. He also acted on the stage (even Broadway) during his long career. Television, too.
He was even honored on a US postage stamp.
Think it over.
