Actor

The Resume

    (July 1, 1920-July 29, 1982)
    Birth name is Toshiyuki Sakata
    Best known as Oddjob in 'Goldfinger (1964)'
    Acted in 'Poppies Are Also Flowers (1966),' 'Dimension 5 (1966),' 'Impulse (1974),' 'Mako: The Jaws of Death (1976),' 'Goin' Coconuts (1978)' and 'Horror Safari (1982)'

Why he might be annoying:

    He worked as a professional wrestler under the name of 'Tosh Togo.'
    After playing Oddjob, he was typecast as an Asian heavy.
    The role came to define his career so much that he took 'Oddjob' as a middle name.
    Prior to appearing in 'Goldfinger,' he had absolutely no acting experience (well, if you don't count the wrestling).
    He appeared in several odd cough syrup commercials, where he would go berserk and destroy things.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He remains one of James Bond's most famous foes.
    He joined the Army during WW II, but never saw combat.
    He was able to break bricks with his bare hands.
    He won an Olympic silver medal in weight-lifting (1948).
