Why he might be annoying:

    His first role was a woman in a school play.
    He was part of a folk singing group.
    He turned down the chance to play James Bond in 'Live and Let Die' (1973).
    Expected to become a major star after his lead roles in Alfred Hitchcock's 'Frenzy' and Roman Polanski's 'Macbeth,' his film career waned instead.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His father pressured him to study economics instead of pursuing acting as a career.
    He served in a parachute regiment with the British army.
    He was an amateur race car driver.
    He collapsed on the set of 'Ben Hall' (1975) and was diagnosed with diabetes.
    He said, 'I never wanted to be a big star. I usually do one film a year, so I always have enough money to enjoy myself and keep myself out of the public eye.'
