Why he might be annoying:

He has a doughy, cartoonish face.
A talent agent inexplicably was attending a high school play he was in and 'discovered him.'
He snobbishly stated, 'I intend to do things of artistic integrity...I don't want to do something just because it might be commercially popular; it's more important to do something that has meaning.'

His father is a cartoon animator that has worked on several of the Charlie Brown TV specials.
He was a high school classmate of Morgan Brittany.
