My favorite is Chekhov: he wrote for $$ and was a doctor for free. That 
wasn't the original plan; it just worked out that way.

Or, my current favoite: Manil Suri. He's a mathematician at the Univ of 
Baltimore.

 He writes great ficition ("Death of Vishnu") to have a break from math; 
and does math to have a break from fiction.
