Why he might be annoying:

    He landed a job as master of ceremonies at the Old Gayety burlesque theater in Washington, DC, but was soon fired because he was underage.
    During the 50s, he appeared mostly in B-list Westerns and sci-fi films.
    After 'F Troop,' he starred in three short lived series: 'Dusty's Trail,' 'The Ghost Busters' and 'Filthy Rich.'
    Betty Grable commented, 'They say the two best-hung men Hollywood are Forrest Tucker and Milton Berle. What a shame - it's never the handsome ones. The bigger they are, the homelier.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He got his big movie break because at 6'4 he was imposing enough to play the heavy opposite Gary Cooper in 'The Westerner.'
    He served with the US Cavalry during World War II.
    He portrayed Harold Hill more than 2,000 times over five years in the touring production of 'The Music Man.'
