Charlie Chaplin learned to perform onstage, debuting at age five (filling in for his mother) and becoming a professional entertainer at age eight as a clog dancer. He also had a stint with the vaudeville act Casey’s Court Circus. In 1908 he joined the Fred Karno pantomime troupe and quickly rose to star status.
