Buster Keaton

(October 4th, 1895 - February 1st, 1996)

 

Buster Keaton or by his real name Joseph frank "buster" Keaton was originally born in Kansas and grew up to be an American Actor, comedian, stunt performer, writer and filmmaker who was best  known for his silent films and his work with surrealism.

During his first meeting with Arbuckle, he asked to borrow one of the cameras to get a feel for how it worked. After dismantling and reassembling it he began to roughly understand the mechanics and how it worked. With this rough understanding of the mechanics of the moving pictures, he returned the next day, camera in hand, asking for work and was hired as a co-star and gag man making his first appearance in The Butcher Boy a 1917 American short comedy working along side Roscoe Arbuckle. Later on in 1920 The Saphead was released, in which Keaton had his first starring role in a full-length feature.
