Why he might be annoying:

He has a surprisingly higher voice than his appearance indicates.
He grew to six feet before his teens. As such, he became extremely self-conscious about his size.
It didn't matter; he was hardly teased about it.
As a voice actor, he was usually cast as a villain with a deep growling voice.

Why he might not be annoying:

He married Milton Berle's daughter in 1993 and thus became the son-in-law of ‘Mr. Television.'
While he had shaved his head for a movie part, the producers were so pleased by his appearance that they insisted he keep the look.
In his later projects, he sported a beard and a full head of hair.
The last documented line in the eight-year history of ‘Night Court' was his character's catch phrase: ‘Oooo-kay.'
