The Films of Charlie Chan
Warner Oland was the first actor to portray Charlie Chan - as we know him - in sixteen films produced at Fox studios
(later Twentieth Century-Fox) from 1931 until his death in 1938.
Beginning in 1938, Sidney Toler carried on the role, taking the Oriental detective through eleven more adventures at Twentieth Century-Fox and an additional
eleven films at Monogram Pictures until his passing in 1947.
Roland Winters took Charlie Chan through his final six cases at Monogram, until the series finally ended in 1949 after a run of nearly two
decades.
What follows is a chronological listing of all forty-four of the films that comprise
