Comedian

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    His name name vaguely resembles that of homeless activist Mitch Snyder.
    He and future Grizzly Man Timothy Treadwell were finalists for the part of bartender Woody on Cheers before losing out to Woody Harrelson.
    He was set to be a regular on Married with Children as Al Bundy’s rival shoe salesman and he even showed up in some promotional photos with the main cast.
    He claims that show creator, Michael Moye, was salty that he beat out his friend for the part and subsequently campaigned to get him written off the show before the end of the first season.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He lists his comedic influences as Art Carney, Lenny Bruce, Red Skelton and George Carlin.
    He handled not getting the part of Woody way better than the Grizzly Man did.
    He wrote for episodes of Roseanne, Becker and Titus.
    He isn’t bitter about being cut from ‘Married With Children’ and remains hugely popular among fans of the show.
    Ed O’Neill said his favorite line of the whole series was Luke telling Al: ‘The day Luke Ventura can't help a friend is the day he has something better to do.’
    He is a historian and has written several books on the history of stand-up comedy.
