Charlie Chaplin, a well-known comic actor with his featured mustache, wrote, scored, directed and produced his first sound movie, The Great Dictator, in 1940.

In his early work, for instance, The Tramp, he used to be a mime actor as he was so talented that his action and facial expression could perfectly present the whole story. Chaplin believed that the expression of an actor made…
