X was a Canadian-born American director and actor and was known as the innovator of slapstick comedy in film. X was described as the ‘King of Comedy’ and was the first Hollywood celebrity to make the world laugh. X founded Keystone Studios in Edendale, California (it is now part of Echo Park) in 1912. The original main building, the world’s first totally enclosed film stage and studio, still stands. A major feature of X's acting career, often overlooked, is the fact that X played Sherlock Holmes eleven times, as parody or spoof, between 1911 and 1913. Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and other famous actors began their career with X. X's greatest contribution, Keystone Kops inspired a range of Indian comedians from Mehmood and Johnny Walker.
