Why he might be annoying:

    He was fired from a job as a laborer at a studio for sneaking into a crowd scene being filmed.
    A press agent said, 'He alienated himself from everyone around him. People hated to be around him, he complained so much.'
    His attitude cost him a job when Buddy Ebsen refused to offer him a part on 'Barnaby Jones.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served with the Merchant Marine in WWII.
    Before his acting career took off, he actually worked as a banker.
    A California bank official said, 'The bankers all love him.... I have yet to hear a banker complain about the character of Drysdale.'
