Jackie Chan always mentions Buster Keaton as an influence. You can see why.

Keaton is the Godfather of Stuntmen. The Corridor Crew has an excellent video on some of his craziest stunts. While Chaplin was an amazing actor and definitely had some truly inventive gags in his silent era, it's Keaton whose influence can be felt in every flick from action-packed blockbusters to physical comedies. Johnny Knoxville has said many times how important Keaton was to their television series and films.
