Obviously he's an actor, just look at the number of films and TV shows he's in, not to mention the royalties from book deals.
Ok, so he suffers a bit from being typecast but his uncharacteristic portrayal of the 3rd Candlestick in Disney's Beauty and the Beast deservedly won an oscar nomination.

I always assumed there was a performer's secret black book that got shared around those in the know which rated all the venues in terms of ease of access, management, dressing rooms, backstage navigation, sound, ability to overlook the talent's bar and snacks bills, and so on.
