He looks like Steve Buscemi.
Almost all main male characters in his books are named Harry.
He often appears as a background character in his movies.

Why he might not be annoying:

He's worked with Henry Rollins on three different occasions.
Three of his stories have been turned into movies.
His books often feature the darker side of life, making the reader sometimes question their own lives and habits.
