There were a ton of other serial killers they could have went with in Lectre vs Ripper. There were a ton of other magicians than Copperfield they could have went with in Houdini's battle. There were many other directors they could have used in the director royale. But they just went ahead and picked the ones they thought were most notable or fit best. For Chaplin, it would probably be Carrey or Sandler.

It's reaching because your sacrificing the simplicity and notability found in Chaplin vs Carrey vs Sandler for a secondary connection (silence) that doesn't need to be there. It would be like ditching Copperfield so you could find an illusionist who isn't really significant or relevant but has the same exact act as Houdini.
