Why he might be annoying:

    His names sounds like a section of restaurant where executives go to discuss million dollar business deals.
    He was a scab who crossed the picket line during a Screen Actors Guild strike in 1980 to get his Emmy.
    Trying to appease his counterparts, he gutlessly said, 'This is America and one must do what one believes. I believe in the Academy. I also believe in my fellow actors in their stand.'
    He used his influence to get his daughter Parisse Boothe a recurring role as a hooker on his 'Deadwood' series.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Southern Methodist University (1972).
    He was up front with his decision to cross the picket line to receive his Emmy, stating, 'This may be either the bravest moment of my career or the dumbest.'
    He has portrayed many authority figures, both good and evil, with equal enthusiasm.
    He spends his spare time with his family and raises quarterhorses on a ranch in Los Angeles.
