Christopher Chaplin was born on 8 July 1962 at Clinique de Mont Choisi in Lausanne, Switzerland.[6][7] He is the youngest child of film actor Charlie Chaplin and his fourth wife Oona O'Neill: when Chaplin was born, his father was 63 years old.[8] Chaplin's father died in 1977, when he was aged 15.

Chaplin studied piano under Irene Denereaz in Vevey, then settled in London to become an actor. He made his feature film debut as Ivan in the comedy film Where Is Parsifal? (1983), screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival,[9][10] and played Jacques Sette in Charles Jarrott's TV miniseries Till We Meet Again based on the eponymous novel by Judith Krantz.[11]

In Peter Patzak's Gavre Princip - Himmel unter Steinen (Death of a Schoolboy), a historical documentary about the life of 17-year-old Gavrilo Princip,[12][13] Chaplin took on the role of Trifco,[14][15] and he played Franz Kafka in Jaromil Jireš' Czech New Wave film Labyrinth (1991).[16] The film received the Critic's Choice at the 1992 American Film Institute International Film Festival.[17][18]

Chaplin played Rodrigo de Escobedo,[19][20] the Spanish royal notary, secretary of Columbus fleet, and commander of La Navidad,[21][22] in John Glen's historical film Christopher Columbus: The Discovery, released for the 500th anniversary of Columbus' voyage.[23] In Liliane de Kermadec's return to feature film, the French period road movie La Piste du télégraphe (lit. 'The Telegraph Road') (1994), Chaplin played John alongside Elena Safonova's Lisa Alling.[24][25][26][27] He played French poet Charles Cros in Agnieszka Holland's historically account of the relationship between Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud, Total Eclipse (1995).[28][29][30]

Since 2005, Chaplin has focused on a career as a composer, and has collaborated with German experimental, ambient and electronic musician Hans-Joachim Roedelius, amongst others. In 2010, he signed to Fabrique Records, and released his solo debut album Je suis le Ténébreux in 2016.[31][32][33]
