Why he might be annoying:

    His parents made it easy for him to enter into show business (his mother is an acting teacher and his father, Rick Hurst, had a recurring role on Dukes of Hazzard).
    He made his acting debut as Crunch Grabowski on the cringy and redundant Saved By The Bell: The New Class (although his first acting job overall was in a lost Spam commercial).
    For a time, he was typecast as soldiers in war movies, despite neither having served in the military nor coming from any kind of military family background.
    His signature ex-con motorcyclist character on Sons of Anarchy shares a name with the son on the Andy Griffith Show (although some believe the name to actually a reference to Ophelia in Hamlet).

Why he might not be annoying:

    His part on Sons of Anarchy was initially intended to be limited to Season One, but the character became such a fan favorite that he was elevated to full-time cast member status.
    He and William Lucking weren’t initially written as father and son on Sons of Anarchy, but they looked so much alike that Kurt Sutter re-wrote the characters so that they actually were related.
    His portrayal of Opie won the Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film in 2011.
    His getting killed off in a prison killing ritual during the fifth season of Sons of Anarchy genuinely shocked and traumatized fans.
    He received a BAFTA Award nomination for his portrayal of Norse god Thor in the 2022 video game God of War Ragnarok.
    He and his wife jointly founded their own production company, Fast Shoes, in 2013.
