Actor

The Resume

    (August 28, 1940- )
    Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
    Portrayed Les Nessman on WKRP in Cincinnati
    Also appeared in 'Billy Jack Goes To Washington' (1977), 'Roots: The Next Generations' (1979), 'The Nude Bomb' (1980), 'Valley Girl' (1983) and 'Men of Honor' (2000)

Why he might be annoying:

    He bumped his head against a light while filming the WKRP pilot; the producers had him wear a bandage in a different location in each subsequent episode as a running gag.
    He also played Les Nessman's mother in one episode.
    He reprised his character in the unsuccessful spinoff 'The New WKRP in Cincinnati.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He won a Fulbright Scholarship to study Shakespearean acting in England.
    He was a Peace Corps volunteer in Brazil.
    WKRP's 'Turkeys Away' episode generated a couple of decades of seasonal work each November as he drops stuffed animals, ping pong balls, coupons or other promotional items to waiting crowds.
