Why he might be annoying:

    He has eye baggage.
    He was typecast as police officers.
    He said: 'Once I figured Hollywood might typecast me as the police officer, I turned to directing. That way, I could wait until an interesting project came along.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He frequently collaborates with Laurence Fishburne.
    He was nominated for a Palme d'Or for his role in 'A Rage in Harlem.'
    His delivery of the line 'You done Fucked up, you know that don't you?' in 'Menace II Society' became a popular internet meme (he later reprised the role on an episode of The Boondocks.).
    He founded the Duke Media Foundation that helps prepare young people for a career in all aspects of film, video and TV production.
    His shift from actor to director proved a wise choice and he was honored by the Directors Guild of America with a Lifetime Achievement Tribute.
    He had a brief acting comeback as Agent Percy Odell in CW's Black Lightning.
