    His first paying gig in show biz required putting on an ape suit to play a gorilla in a stripper’s act.
    He was frequently cast as a villain, a redneck, or both.
    He wasn’t sure if he was playing Mr. Wint or his partner Mr. Kidd until the first day of shooting on ‘Diamonds Are Forever.’

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served in the US Army during the Korean War.
    He began teaching acting in the 1970s and eventually had enough students that he needed to build an addition to his West L.A. house to accommodate an acting studio.
    He was married to Betty Krachey for 56 years.
    He said, ‘If I am anything as an actor, it is that I will never be the usual…. Every character I play is an entirely different one.’
