Actor

The Resume

    Best known as 'Mr. Wendy' in a series of ads for Wendy's Hamburgers
    Wrote for 'Star Trek: The Next Generation,' 'Super Mario Brothers Super Show,' 'Aaaah! Real Monsters,' 'The Angry Beavers,' 'Histeria!' and 'Baby Looney Tunes'
    Appeared in 'Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd'
    Wrote children's book 'Nonsense! He Yelled'

Why he might be annoying:

    He is better known as Mr. Wendy, than his real name.
    His Wendy's commercials, where he pesters people to buy fast food and emphasizes that he doesn't work for Wendy's, appeared non-stop.
    His 'unofficial spokesman' status was Wendy's way of doing commercials without having someone replacing the late Dave Thomas.
    Dave Thomas and Clara Peller he ain't.
    Other than the Wendy's ads, he has appeared in nearly 30 commercials.
    He appeared in the ill-advised prequel to 'Dumb and Dumber.'
    With sales down, Wendy's called the Mr. Wendy campaign a dismal failure and fired him (November 5, 2004).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a member of the Groundlings Troupe.
    He hardly makes any references to his Mr. Wendy character on his web site.
    He writes children's books and has written for several children's cartoons.
    He graduated from the University of Missouri in Columbia.
