No
Clarification: This is not a new question but since I was criticised for my response to the "artist" question previously - can you just confirm, does "not an artist" also mean "not an actor or theatrical performer"?
Confirmed
Would this rule out poets too?

Artists do art. Poetry is a prototypical example of art. Therefore, poets are artists. Any other definition that would be capable of excluding poets from the circle of art I would consider a creature from the domain of gender studies.

Only four questions left. It could be a Korean, Mongolian, Filipino, Persian, Levantine, Turkic, Mesopotamian, Ainu, Siberian, Southeast Asian or Central Asian man, or a man from the Indonesian archipelago or Arabian peninsula, or maybe an Armenian or Cyproit man depending on how you define Europe.
