Actor

The Resume

    (December 2, 1924-April 13, 2012)
    Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
    Barnabas Collins on Dark Shadows

Why he might be annoying:

    He fears… liars. (How did he survive that long, then?)
    Much like that of Barnabas, his signature roles wound up being the very characteristics he questioned.
    He had trouble reading cue cards without his glasses.
    He wasn’t supposed to be on Dark Shadows more than a few weeks. Then, like Star Trek in syndication, the phenomenon began.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a WWII Royal Canadian Navy veteran.
    Despite roles as the authoritarian heavy, he had a flair for comedic roles, particularly as Petruchio (Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew).
    He ran his own website into his mid-80s.
