#1 Charlie Chaplain

This English-born actor was a hugely important slapstick performer. He elevated an aspect of vaudeville performance into an art form. In addition to his acting, he wrote, directed, edited, produced and scored his own films, making him one of Hollywood's first one man teams. Not bad for a guy who'd been sent to the workhouse twice before the age of nine.
