 C'mon guys, dictionary attacks are dumb and boring...
Disagree. 20 questions is few enough that you cannot effectively dictionary attack the answer, but adding a few in can drastically narrow pool the of candidates in useful ways.

 Is he a sportsman? [including retired]
Are you suggesting it's someone who is an entertainer and a sportsperson?
I thought it was established that sports was a subset of entertainment?
Yes, that was my understanding too.

 So not a musician, actor, or author... what kinds of entertainers does that leave... I must ponder
Strictly speaking you haven't excluded stage actor but I guess that's unlikely as most will have been in tv/movie.

There is non-acting tv/movie industry roles [film director being the most obvious].

Dancer? Perhaps music industry excludes.

Journalist?

Circus artiste?

My money is on sports or film director.
