He kind of did, didn't he? "I had ideas about the character and they ignored me WOE." Dude, you're an actor--act and let the writers do their job. If you have ideas about where a character should go, then get a job on the other side of the camera. Maybe if he hadn't phoned in his performance, we would have liked the character better.

Although I liked what they did with him in S5. He wasn't WHINY. Whiny = freaking annoying.
