Why he might be annoying:

    He's kind of weird looking.
    He's frequently confused with fellow actor Lance Henriksen.
    He is frequently cast as ethnics (such as Greeks) that he does not even remotely resemble.
    He smokes.
    He married and divorced actress Meg Foster.
    His voice makes it hard to understand him at times.
    He's never received or been nominated for any type of major award for his work.
    His nickname is 'Sniff.'
    Of all the TV series he has starred in only one, Haven could be considered successful.

Why he might not be annoying:

    As a young man, he closely resembled James Dean and was sensational playing him in a made for TV movie.
    He plays cold-blooded evil really well.
    He has an extraordinary work ethic. In 1995 alone, he appeared in one theatrical movie, four television episodes, and made five made for TV movies.
    Despite his career, he is a devoted family man.
    He's had a highly productive and varied career in the most competitive industry in the world.
    Unlike many Canadian actors who left their Canadian careers behind when they hit it big in Hollywood, he has continued to act prolifically on both sides of the border.
    He is a very good although infrequent interview.
    He likes his status as working actor and doesn't seek stardom.
