| For Sydney Chaplin's nephew, son of Charlie Chaplin, see Sydney Earle Chaplin Sydney Chaplin, born as Sidney John Hill (March 16 1885 - April 16 1965), was the elder half-brother of Sir Charlie Chaplin and the half-uncle of the actor Sydney Chaplin (1926- ), who was born as Sydney Earle Chaplin. Charlie and Sydney Chaplin were very close and looked out for each other from their young days. Though younger, it was Charlie that got onto the stage first, in a play, Sherlock Holmes, but it wasn't long before Syd joined the tour. Fred Karno then signed up Sydney, and he then recommended Charlie, giving him his biggest break. After Charlie left Keystone, he suggested Sydney as his replacement, and he made a few comedies there, most notably A Submarine Pirate in 1915. Soon, he was handling the majority of Charlie's business affairs, negotiating most of his big contracts and appearing in a few films during the First National era. Later films include The Perfect Flapper (1924) with Colleen Moore, Charley's Aunt (1925) and The Better 'Ole (1927). Sydney Chaplin died on April 16 1965, in Nice, France. He married twice and had no children.
