Did he act in films?

Somehow I don't think we're going to get this one...

Guys, we need to ask logical non-specific questions then narrow it down.

Good point. I've change my last question to be less specific.

That question was okay, just before we asked random questions that made no progress.

Yeah, and there's pretty much no way to get this one now (unless by complete guessing). There were way too many questions just asked about random professions, little of which furthered the case.

Yeah, asking about random professions is a waste of time, especially early on. You might get lucky, but realistically, there are too many professions to cover in 20 questions. If you're going to ask about professions, it's better to go for broad categories at first, and then narrow it down once you know roughly what sort of work they did. For example, "Was he an academic?" is better than "Was he a scientist?", and "Is she known within the arts?" is better than "Is she a musician?" or "Is she a writer?".

Anyway, he did act in films, though he isn't known solely for it.

Yeah, I noticed that too, which is why my guesses were limited, but I didn't want to be a big jerk bringing it up.

A wild guess:

was it Charlie Chaplin?

No, it wasn't.

We're out of questions, so we have two options:

1) I can tell you the answer now, and then do another one (which I'll try to make easier), or
2) We can continue with this one until somebody gets it, and then they can do the next one.

Well, without more clues, I have no idea. I'm okay with you telling me.

The answer is Harry Houdini. I hope I didn't give any misleading answers!

Now, I've thought of an object - this one should be easier, so hopefully, I won't be doing three in a row :P .

@Katie: Not in the conventional sense. I don't want to get technical or give too much away, so I'll refuse that question.
@Adam: No.
