Does he have a habit?
No, but he's frequently insane because evil aliens keep fucking around with his brain. So he still gets to act sweaty and desparate and despairing and have hallucinations. Then he has a plan! And it's the worst plan ever, but generally not too many people get killed and it's only their fault because they know his batting average with plans. Also, he's very hot in leather pants, very bitterly funny (imagine a pretty Munch), and is capable of generating intense sexual chemistry.

He does crazy better than anyone I've ever seen. Plus, pretty.
And, his arms are amazing.
Those are good arms to have.

(And just *try* to tell me he couldn't play Superman. Go on, I dare you.)
And the character is totally the type to bring you breakfast in bed.
Crazy's good...Timmy's crazy, at least if he doesn't get his cookies and beer.
Talking to or about people other people can't see: Tommy Gavin and his cousin, fire victims, Jesus, and Mary Magdalene.(my personal pick for most compelling leading man in recent memory)
Maybe Frank Furillo imprinted me at a formative stage. If a character doesn't have enough issues to choke a horse, who wants him?
ETA: Not bad to look at Tep.
A "pretty Munch" would be a novel thing, too. This is where Belzer would say he is that guy, inside-out.
I'm getting the impression that I should watch some Farscape at some point.

The nice thing about Crichton is that he really doesn't come pre-loaded with issues. They damage him up good over the course of the series, however, and the character grows gets way sexier changes.
The beauty of John is that, when all this starts, he's a decent guy with few issues. You get to see his issues blossom, take form, and hold conversations with him.
The beauty of the show is that what starts off as a fairly straight forward good/bad black/white sort of deal becomes a hell of a lot more complex, and even your heroes aren't always the good guys.
