The Resume

    (August 20, 1958- )
    Born in Larchmont, New York
    Directed and wrote 'Spanking the Monkey' (1994), 'Flirting with Disaster' (1996), 'Three Kings' (1999) and 'I Heart Huckabees' (2004)

Why he might be annoying:

    After George Clooney berated his treatment of the crew during the filming of 'Three Kings,' he grabbed Clooney by the throat.
    When Jude Law threatened to drop out of 'Huckabees' to take a part in a Christopher Nolan film, he confronted Nolan at a Hollywood party and put Nolan in a headlock.
    Video of him calling Lily Tomlin a cunt then sweeping the props off a table surfaced on YouTube.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He received Independent Spirit Awards for best first feature and best first screenplay for 'Spanking the Monkey.'
    He gets big name actors to appear in low-budget films.
    Tomlin said of their conflicts, 'I'd rather have someone human and available and raw and open. Don't give me someone cold, or cut off, or someone who considers themselves dignified.'
