[cdngooner]

Did his fame COME from being an actor, host or presenter on TV? (as opposed to being famous for something else and only on TV to talk about the fame he earned elsewhere).

I intend this to be a binary question, and I think you know what I mean, but if its inartfully worded I suppose I suffer the consequences.

Yes

[Jamiet99uk]

So did his fame come from some OTHER art or media (other than TV)?

Why did you ask this redundant question, given the previous answer?

[Jamiet99uk]

Is he a painter, sculptor, or other artist working with a physical medium?

[damo666]

Is he a painter, sculptor, or other artist working with a physical medium?

No

[cdngooner]

Why did you ask this redundant question, given the previous answer?

Jamiet99uk, I wish you would stop criticizing my questions. This is becoming a repeated obsession of yours. If you want to play in a game without other players to annoy you, please do so. Otherwise fumble along with all the quirks and foibles of other people just like in real life.

The question was NOT redundant. All we knew is that is fame did not come from TV. What is wrong with pinning down what his fame DID come from (including whether he was an artist at all, which your very next question even more redundantly repeated)?

[cdngooner]

Famous as a writer?

[Jamiet99uk]

Ok fine, sorry. I won't criticise other people's questioning.

[Jamiet99uk]

Has he ever held a world record, or been named Time Magazine's "man of the year", or made an appearance on The Simpsons (either voicing himself, or being voiced by an actor)?

[damo666]

Famous as a writer?

Yes
