Yes.
Born in what is currently England, but not North East England?
Yes. But I'm honestly curious of the question. Is there a part of England that is "currently" England, that was not always England (at least since the Scottish Wars)?

Okay this is going to sound like a weird leap in logic but:

Free guess: Charles (Charlie) Chaplin

Not a crazy guess. Not correct. But not crazy.

Five questions left, and you still don't know what he did for a living.

1,4,5,6,7,15. Real dead human male, born in England (but not North East England).
2,10,12. Born 1821-1899.
11. Died more than 75 years old.
3,9,13. Not mostly known for contribution to writing, art or music (except in a very stretched meaning); royalty, politician, explorer, high-ranking military, or science.
8. Left the British Isles at some point in his life, either temporarily or permanently.
14. Has an "E" in their first full name.

I was thinking more the opposite: Monmouthshire used to be considered arguably England, but is now considered unambiguously Wales.

Can his main source of fame be classified as "the arts" in a broad sense, but not writing or music?

No. This person is not an artist. The part that was "in the broadest sense" was writing or music.
Died aged 82 or older?
Yes.
Criminal?
Scratched as requested, but advise not to ask again. Won't help you.

Three questions left and you still don't know what he did for a living.

1,4,5,6,7,15. Real dead human male, born in England (but not North East England).
2,10,12. Born 1821-1899.
11,17. Died more than 82 years old.
3,9,13,16. Not mostly known for contribution to writing or music (except in a very stretched meaning); royalty, politician, explorer, high-ranking military, science, or the arts.
8. Left the British Isles at some point in his life, either temporarily or permanently.
14. Has an "E" in their first full name.

Was he a news broadcaster, engineer, inventor, spy, ambassador, pilot, astronaut, or medical doctor?
