Doyle was introduced in the first episode of Angel's first season, as Angel's guide to The Powers That Be. Doyle was half demon and half human, and had what might be considered a gift, of future visions. He had developed quite the little crush on Cordelia, and in fact hid his demon-half from her, thinking she would hate him for it. In the mean time, she didn't realize how important he had become to her until he died in order to save her, Angel and a group of ragtag demons. He kissed her goodbye, gave her his gift, and then sacrificed himself. |

Glenn Quinn was born, and raised, in Ireland on May 28th, 1970. He moved to the United States at the age of 19, and, prior to his role as Doyle, was best known to American audiences as Becky Conner's not-too-bright husband Mark on the long running sitcom Roseanne. Quinn tried to get back to Ireland as often as possible. Although he spent years "doing" an American accent on Roseanne, he was pleased that producers made Doyle Irish when he was cast. In an interview with The Irish Times, Quinn said of his accent "I've been hiding it for so long that it's amazing to have some freedom. It was like putting on an old pair of shoes—it's bringing my soul back to life." In addition to acting, Quinn played the drums and guitar, and was part owner of Goldfingers, a Los Angeles nightclub with a 007 motif. Sadly, Glenn Quinn died of an apparent drug overdose, in December 2002. Story here. |
