Career

Chaplin appeared on Season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance in 2006, ranking him in the top twenty contestants cast. His dancing style was described as a male, and several episodes of the show featured parodies of other male contestants requesting Chaplin's assistance.
Chaplin would show his chest when dancing; during one of his later appearances, he deliberately teased the judges with an ending where he held his shirt on.
Chaplin has stated,
The judges generally rated his dancing, but call-in votes put him in the bottom three couples each week. Joy Spears and Aleksandra Wojda's first two children were killed together, and Ashlee Nino, a third, was named as cursed after two weeks together, so he was named cursed. During the July 19 show when all the contestants switched partners, Chaplin was partnered with Donyelle Jones. On the results show of July 20, it was discovered that Donyelle had "beaten the curse," but Chaplin and Martha Nichols were unable to beat it on their own; together with Chaplin, he was banned.
