The Resume

    (September 20, 1958- )
    Wrote 'Being John Malkovich (1999),' 'Human Nature (2001),' 'Adaptation (2002),' and 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002)'
    Wrote for 'The Drew Carey Show' and 'Get a Life'

Why he might be annoying:

    For 'Adaptation,' he says the screenplay is written by him and his brother, Donald. He does not have a brother and he is the only one who wrote the script.
    The fictional Donald Kaufman got an Academy Award nomination along with Charlie for 'Adaptation.'
    The film is even dedicated 'In Loving Memory of Donald Kaufman.'
    He says he based the character Charlie Kaufman in 'Adaptation' on himself, yet friends and interviewers say that he is absolutely nothing like the Charlie Kaufman in 'Adaptation.'
    In 'Being John Malkovich,' he wrote John's middle name to be Horatio, but in reality John's middle name is Gavin.
    He looks like Howard Stern with South Park famed Matt Stone's hair.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His films are critically acclaimed by the majority of critics who review them.
    He ranked #100 in 'Premiere's 2003 annual Power 100 List.'
    He has grown so popular that people have made fan sites for him.
    He was nominated for an Academy Award for 'Being John Malkovich' and 'Adaptation.'
