Why he might be annoying:

    There is a question over whether he was born in Rock Hill, South Carolina or Charlotte, North Carolina.
    He's usually cast as some type of redneck character.
    He's looked like he was in his fifties since he was in his twenties.
    He's never won or been nominated for any type of award for his acting.
    He's pretty much stuck in the guest-starring/character actor mold.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He's been able to build and maintain a career in the most competitive industry in the world for almost thirty years.
    He's made seven movies with action director Roland Emmerich.
    He has a naturalistic low key acting style that makes his acting look almost effortless.
    He has a reputation for professionalism and getting along well with his co-workers.
    He has done a lot of work in 'cult' or 'offbeat' films, especially science fiction that has won him an unusually wide variety of fans.
