    He was usually cast as grizzled good ol' boys.
    He sported a walrus mustache.
    He twice played Don Johnson's father (in 'Nash Bridges' and the TV movie 'The Long Hot Summer') despite being only nine years older.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He started as a cameraman at an Orlando TV station, became a director, then joined a community theater.
    He was nominated for a Tony for his only Broadway appearance, in Sam Shepard's 'Buried Child.'
