Buster Keaton (born Joseph Frank Keaton, October 4, 1895 - February 1, 1966) was an American silent film comic actor and filmmaker. His trademark was physical comedy with a stoic, deadpan expression on his face, earning him the nickname "The Great Stone Face" (referencing the Nathaniel Hawthorne story about the "Old Man of the Mountain"). His career as a performer and director is widely regarded to be among the most innovative and important work in the history of cinema. Wikipedia
