The Resume

    (December 6, 1958- )
    Born in Preston, England, United Kingdom
    Created the characters Wallace and Gromit
    Directed the short films 'Creature Comforts' (1989), 'A Grand Day Out' (1989), 'The Wrong Trousers' (1993), 'A Close Shave' (1995) and 'A Matter of Loaf and Death' (2008)
    Directed the feature films 'Chicken Run' (2000) and 'Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit' (2005)

Why he might be annoying:

    He gets 'stressed out' making films because he is not good at delegating tasks.
    He feels awkward promoting his films: 'I would rather people heard about them from their friends. It makes me nervous to talk about them before they come out, in case they don't live up to expectation.'
    After forgetting to bring a tie to the Academy Awards, he made a bow tie out of wrapping paper and scotch tape (1990).
    He accidentally locked himself out of the Oscar ceremony when he left the auditorium to use the rest room (2006).

Why he might not be annoying:

    Before making his own films, he worked on Pee-Wee's Playhouse and the video for Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer.'
    Many of his storyboards, sets and other memorabilia were lost during a fire at the Aardman Animations warehouse (2005).
    As of 2011, he had won three Oscars for Best Animated Short Film and one for Best Animated Feature Film.
    He said, 'I think part of the success of Wallace and Gromit is being a child yourself. Letting that child out to play.'
