The Resume

    (March 31, 1924-August 14, 1982)
    Best known as Mr. Alexander in 'A Clockwork Orange (1971)'
    Acted in 'The Servant (1963),' 'The Masque of the Red Death (1964),' 'Die, Monster, Die! (1965),' 'Marat/Sade (1967),' 'The Birthday Party (1968),' 'Hard Contract (1969),' 'Cromwell (1970)' and 'Chariots of Fire (1981)'

    Died of a heart attack

Why he might be annoying:

    He mainly played maniacs in horror movies.
    He had potentially the most stereotypical Irish name ever.
    He achieved more success on stage than he ever did on film.
    He claimed he was just as scared by his movies as the audiences were.
    He shared his name with an IRA bomber who tried to kill Margaret Thatcher.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a favorite actor of Stanley Kubrick and Samuel Beckett.
    Beckett wrote 'Krapp's Last Tap' specifically for him to star in.
    He was perfectly willing to admit that he had starred in a lot of crap.
    He won a Tony for performing 'Marat/Sade' on stage (1966).
    His first love was the stage, and he used money made from movies to finance his theater work.
