Dunno about your two sports IQs.
Ustinov was also Poirot in Evil Under the Sun, I think. And did you know that he was nearby, waiting to interview Indira Gandhi, when she was assassinated by two of her guards?

This is a real person.
I know. I'm stumped, I guess.
If he isn't from: movies, TV, or the stage what visual medium does that leave?!
You read with your eyes.
Books are LITERATURE!! Just tell me, I'm done if you're gonna use BS categories!
Sorry. You didn't ask about literature or the printed word. Your question in post 3934 was "from visual medium." Reading makes use of a visual medium, so I answered yes (if I had answered no, you might have assumed the man was famous for music or the spoken word). In post 3945 I added, "I suggest you interpret #10 broadly."
If you feel misled, however, feel free to re-ask DQs 11-14.
Sorry I left in a huff.

DQ: Appears in a prose work?

IQ: Are you the psydonym of a mathematician turned serial killer?
Not the Unabomber (who, we once figured out, was a student on the U. of Michigan campus at the same time as my dad, although as far as we know they never met).
I'm resurrecting this to cry "Uncle!"
I've PM'd CIAS, to give him a chance to weigh in. If he doesn't, I'll reveal the answer.
Okay. Waiting with bated breath. I also expect to SMH when you reveal the answer
BTW: "Visual medium"= film, tv, the stage
So: not sculpture, calligraphy, photography or painting?
Those would be Art IMO. (Though, except for calligraphy I definitely see wiggle room.)
Well, I'll try to remember those definitions. Remind me, or specify, if it comes up again, please.
CIAS is a no-show, so I'll go ahead and tell you, our mystery person this round was
Umberto Eco
An Italian academic, writer and philosopher, perhaps best known for his book (later made into a Sean Connery movie) The Name of the Rose: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umberto_Eco
He's a literature figure IMO.
As to DQ6, literature is one of the arts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literature. And you knew from 16a, b and c that he was a writer.
Would you like to start the next round?
Sure, let me think a bit..
Okay, your letter is:
