Why he might be annoying:

    When he started dating Shirley Temple, he was twenty-four and she was sixteen.
    He was a notorious drunk.
    He destroyed his leading-man status in Hollywood with his public intoxication and drunk-driving arrests.
    He then took the only work he could find; in some of the worst sci-fi and horror movies of the 1950's and 1960's.
    He tried to open a theme park, 'John Agar's Land of Kong,' but it failed.
    Eventually he failed to get any acting work and became an insurance salesman.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served as a Marine Corps sergeant in World War II.
    He was mockingly called 'Mr. Shirley Temple' by the press. (That's gotta hurt).
    He was a talented singer.
    He quit drinking for good in the 1970's.
    'Famous Monsters of Filmland' magazine once falsely reported his death.
    By the 1980/s, he had become a celebrated cult-movie figure.
    Bad-movie lovers have even written poetry about him.
