Why he might be annoying:

    He looks like John C. Reilly.
    He started with the 7:84 Theatre Company, a left-wing troupe presenting plays dealing with 'political, social and cultural issues of inequality, prejudice and oppression.'
    He played the same person in 'The Commitments,' 'The Snapper' and 'The Van,' but the character's name was changed in each film due to a rights dispute.
    He said, 'I would not watch Star Trek. Science fiction is not my favorite genre.'
    He was originally cast in the American remake of 'Life on Mars,' but was replaced by Harvey Keitel when the pilot was re-shot (2008).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He joined the Irish National Theatre.
    His 225 appearances in Star Trek are second only to Michael Dorn's 280.
    He was feted by the US-Ireland Alliance at the 'Oscar Wilde: Honoring the Irish' pre-Academy Awards party (2008).
    Director Christopher Monger said, 'Colm is the Celtic Gerard Depardieu. He's virile. He's a man in spades. Women find him very sexy.'
