A Dog's Life
In 1916, Bergman started working with Charlie Chaplin, beginning with "The Floorwalker". For the rest of his career, Bergman remained a character actor for Chaplin and worked as a studio assistant, including Assistant Director. He played in many Chaplin shorts and later features, including "The Pawnshop", "The Immigrant", "A Dog's Life", "The Gold Rush", "The Circus", and "City Lights". Bergman's last on-screen appearance was in "Modern Times" as a restaurant manager, and his final off-screen contribution was for "The Great Dictator" in 1940. Chaplin helped Bergman finance a restaurant in Hollywood, named "Henry's", which became a popular spot for celebrities as a precursor to the later Brown Derby restaurant.
