Lead
As of January 2, 2023, the lead reads:

MOS:ROLEBIO says this:

Here is how the sources cited in the article refer to him:
 * Los Angeles Times: "singer and pianist"
 * The Hollywood Reporter: "vocalist, pianist, actor"
 * The Desert Sun: "singer-pianist"

Based on this I plan to modify the lead to refer to him as a "singer and pianist". That is not to exclude other "occupations" or "roles" like "acting" from the article (which can be mentioned in the main text), but from the bulk of the article and the cited sources, his notability is tied to being a "singer and actor". Being a "comedian" or a "dancer" is not supported by any sources. That is not to say he did not dance or that he did not appear in comedy productions, just that those are not supported enough to be mentioned in the main text, much less in the lead. I also think that just being in a comedy production does not make one a "comedian". But if you have reliable sources that do call him a dancer or comedian, then it might be eligible to go in, but keep in mind WP:WEIGHT, which says:

In addition to the lead, I will modify the occupation parameter in the infobox and the Short description. If you agree, disagree, or want to discuss further, feel free to reply here.
