Why he might be annoying:

    He was part of the original cast of Little House on the Prairie, but after three episodes he was booted out personally by Michael Landon after he tossed a pencil and it hit an actress in the eye.
    The TV series created as starring vehicles for him each lasted one season or less.
    He recorded a bubblegum-meets-disco album with his sister.
    He said about his less-than-stellar film credits, ‘Basically, I sold myself out.’
    He fathered a daughter out of wedlock.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He and Kristy were raised by their mom after their father walked out on the family.
    Kristy credited him with pulling her through after she suffered a nervous breakdown while filming ‘I Won’t Dance.’ (1982)
    After leaving acting, he had a career in real estate and home remodeling.
    He said he enjoys being ‘a regular guy.’
