Why he might be annoying:

    His acting on film (where he lacked an audience) was often stilted.
    After gaining notice as a game show panelist and semi-regular guest on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jack Paar,' he commented that he had worked hard as an actor for twenty years only to become famous for 'uttering inanities' on TV.
    He insisted on wearing mismatched red and green socks.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His distinctive voice made him a popular character actor on radio and in cartoons.
    One of his hobbies was collecting Japanese art, which he began when he was put in charge of Radio Tokyo after WWII.
    He conducted a comedic mock feud with fellow actor and game show regular Vincent Price.
