Actor

The Resume

    (December 16, 1944-July 1, 2003)
    Birth name was Gcao Coma
    Resided among the San (Bushman) community in eastern Namibia
    Best known as Xixo in the ‘Gods Must Be Crazy' series

Why he might be annoying:

    There are conflicting stories about his life in the Kalahari Desert.
    His actual birth date is unknown, as the San people don't use calendars.
    He had three wives simultaneously.
    He basically played himself in his movies.
    After making the first two ‘Gods Must Be Crazy' movies, he went on to do some terrible kung fu films.
    Because he didn't understand the concept of paper currency, he let his payment for ‘The Gods Must Be Crazy' blow away in the wind.
    He eventually bought a car, but never learned to drive it.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He starred in the international sensation ‘The Gods Must Be Crazy,' but was only paid $300.
    When approached to make a sequel, he wisely asked for over 200 times what he was paid the first time.
    He used the money to build a house for his family.
    He actually went by the name G!kau, but was credited as ‘N!xau' because of a typo.
    He was a vegetable farmer.
    He was fluent in three languages.
    He died of tuberculosis.
    He was known as a pleasant person who was always laughing.
