The Resume

    (July 23, 1967-February 2, 2014)

    Won Best Actor for 'Capote' (2005)

Why he might be annoying:

    He got into acting in order to get a girl.
    He admits that he was fired from several jobs and living on unemployment before getting his big break in 'Scent of a Woman.'
    He appeared in almost every Paul Thomas Anderson film.
    He is often typecast as a creep or pervert.
    He is sometimes confused with actor Jack Black.
    He voted for Ralph Nader for president (2000).

Why he might not be annoying:

    In his sophomore year of high school, he suffered an injury that prevented him from playing multiple sports.
    He graduated from NYU's Tisch School of Drama.
    He pokes fun at his own weight (and he's not even that over weight).
    He is a talented stage actor and was nominated for a Tony Award for 'True West.'
    He puts his all into every role he is given and says he plays his characters 'as honestly and expressively and creatively as I can.'
    He is seen as one of the most underrated actors of his generation.
