I've never seen the movie/show you mentioned with him clearing his throat, but that must have been something he added for the character. Sometimes actors give each of their character's a tick to make them unique.
Unfortunately for you, he must have chosen to have that particular character clearing his throat. In one role, he sniffs things. Another one, he's always tutting. It's normal for someone to have a habit. He's a thoughtful actor to notice that. -

How can you blame Gries for something the producers or directors of the show could have easily told him to stop doing?
Its part of his character, approved by the people behind the scenes of the show. Deal with it.

I've come to realize that actors who can successfully annoy me with their character's "ticks" or personality traits are, in fact, good actors!
Could he daily feel the stab of hunger for her and find nourishment in the very sight of her? -

I can only speak about "The Pretender" and on there he did clear his throat a lot but it was his Character, Broots was always nervous and this helped to show his nervousness and his feelings of inadequacy when speaking or presenting his case, to anyone.. I liked his character, however, and thought he added some great comical moments

I diagree, he doesn't clear his throat, neither he's a bad actor. Here's a short film where he proves his talent:

what's with you people? John Gries has a signature habit that directors/editors are powerless to stop and re-shoot? then he must be the best actor on earth or bullies his way into future movies somehow
