Animal

The Resume

    Birth name was Arnold
    Portrayed Arnold Ziffel on the TV series 'Green Acres (1965-71)'

Why he might be annoying:

    There were three different pigs that portrayed Arnold during the run of 'Green Acres,' and a fourth for the the reunion show 'Return To Green Acres (1990).'
    He was replaced thrice because he literally got 'too big' for the role.
    It became an urban legend that when the show wrapped after the final episode, he was slaughtered for a cast and crew barbecue (not true).

Why he might not be annoying:

    Frank Inn, trainer for all the pigs, was able to teach them to turn on and watch TV, drink soda through a straw, bring the mail in and play some piano.
    His fan mail outweighed any other star on 'Green Acres.'
    He upstaged co-star Eva Gabor on an appearance of 'The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson' by relieving himself on her gown.
    He twice received the American Humane Society's Patsy Award (Top Performing Animal Star of the Year) for animals in the entertainment field (1968-69).
    He especially liked Jews and Muslims who kept kosher.
