Why he might be annoying:

    He was a math prodigy.
    His breakout role off-Broadway was playing a time-traveling 20th-century playwright who befriends Gustav Mahler, in a production of 'Gus and Al.'
    Frank Rich reviewed his debut performance as an 'appealing, weary-eyed portrayal' and 'rueful hypersensitivity to the modern world.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in theater.
    He won an Obie Award for his performance in 'Gus and Al,' in 1989.
    He worked well opposite Madonna in 'Desperately Seeking Susan,' a movie which proved that the singer could act.
    He had a recurring role on the popular Amazon series 'Mozart in the Jungle.'
    He was active in the Screen Actors Guild, having served on the New York and national boards.
    He explained his love of theater by saying: '[It] makes you feel enveloped by it in a way that supports you and elevates you. It’s like a little cushion underneath to prevent us from crashing to the earth.'
