Why he might be annoying:

    His goofy nickname comes from his father due to nesting clu-clu birds at his home when he was born.
    As a non-French speaking American, his acting career started in experimental theatre in Paris.
    His basic career path has gone from Westerns in the '60s to TV guest appearances in the '70s and early '80s to horror star in the late '80s on (with an occasional Western role thrown in).
    He never considered acting fun, just a job, stating, 'I don't have fun acting. I don't enjoy acting. I think acting is very painful...Those with a compulsion to make films are fucked in the beginning, fucked in the middle, and fucked in the end. You can call it madness, you can call it being an artist, or you can call it ruining your life. But we have not learned one God-damned thing.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He had a tough childhood, growing up on a farm with an alcoholic uncle.
    His father was a Broadway actor-vaudevillian who worked with George M. Cohan.
    He joined the U.S. Marines and was stationed at Camp Pendleton from 1946 to 1948.
    He's been steadily employed as an actor since 1959, appearing in movies and dozens of TV series.
    His TV guest roles have come in many varities, such as 'The Mod Squad,' 'Quincy,M.E.,' 'CHiPs,' 'Knight Rider,' 'MacGyver' and 'Beavis and Butthead.'
    He was married to his wife for 50 years until her 2003 death.
