3. A reliable, uncomplaining, often hard-working person.
The "hard-working" sense does seem to come from the "veteran actor" sense.
(Remember, Unfogged's comment sections are a free-fire nitpick zone. You've been warned. I'd say "Don't start none, won't be none" but that's manifestly untrue.)

"Trouper"? As in, member of a troupe? Nice proofreading...

Walter, trouper:
1. A member of a theatrical company.
2. A veteran actor or performer.
3. A reliable, uncomplaining, often hard-working person.
The "hard-working" sense does seem to come from the "veteran actor" sense.

I've wanted something like that to happen to Danza since "Taxi" debuted all those years ago. No single man has done more to advance Darwin's cause.
