Mimes came from Italy and before that Greece. They were originally known as 'Commedie Delle Latte' (that is not the correct spelling) which was 5 different mimes. The happy clown, the sad clown, the villian, and two others. All mime is based on these 5 'players'. The idea was that all plays could be made using these 5 characters. So an actor would choose which one they would specialize in.
