Chuck Norris can win at 20 questions before Question 1 has been asked.

Also props to Dip&War for narrowing the birth down to less than four years. When was the last time that happened?

When I guessed Takei, I had forgotten to check whether he was born before May 14. There were a few other people who fit, but nobody nearly as famous as Chuck Norris.

 Free guess: Chuck Norris
That is correct! If I were still in high school, I would declare Hominidae the permanent champion of Twenty Questions, since no one could ever top guessing Chuck Norris.

 *not an official question*
Why did it take us two questions to figure out the entity is alive?
*not an official question*
*question*
Died before May 14, 1746?
*question*
Question 2 was "Dead male?" and Question 5 was "Dead?". The answer to both is "no".

It's now well-established that this character is alive, so your question is pointless. Not to mention he has appeared on TV, so clearly did not die in the 18th century.
Scratch that.
