There were a lot of actors who drew. Martin Landau worked at the New York Daily News before deciding he would abandon dreams of being a cartoonist to pursue an acting career. Jonathan Winters drew gag cartoons. And now this: Fred Gwynne drew cartoonists at the Harvard Lampoon when he was a student there. Here's a link to a great Nat Hiken's Car 54: Where Are You? site that has a number of cartoons drawn by Fred Gwynne.
Gary Cooper worked as an editorial cartoonist before heading to Hollywood.
