The Good for Nothing (1929) - Note: Source [5] mentions "Charlie Chaplin and Jess Dandy in The Good for Nothing (1929)". Wait, check date logic. Source [3] says he died in 1923. Source [5] says "Charlie Chaplin and Jess Dandy in The Good for Nothing (1929)". This is a contradiction in the sources. As an archivist, I must report what the sources say, but usually, I should be careful with contradictory dates. However, the prompt says "Use ONLY facts present above." If Source 5 says he is in a 1929 film, I will include it as a credit mentioned in the sources, but I must be careful. Actually, looking at the source [5], it's a list of screenshots. I will include the titles provided.
Other credits: None explicitly listed as "roles" other than the titles.
