Stracznski leaves out the fact that he and Doyle shared another characteristic: They could both be real low class jerks. Much unlike, say, Bruce Boxleitner (Capt. Sheridan in B5), who is a class act. Yet in
In other regards, I have great respect for all 3 men.
I cannot think of another TV show of whose cast so many have been lost so early. Perhaps, trying to realistically portray the future and living in space really IS a dangerous place, in ways we don't yet understand...
Eh, it’s late! That was supposed to be “Yet in other regards...”
That’s getting close to home when people younger than me are kicking the bucket. I really liked his opinions, and enjoyed his voice. RIP... Jerry
Well, if Straczynski can steal Doyle’s line, then I can too.
I have more right to it anyway.
“Doyle” was my mother’s maiden name.

RIP Jerry...here he is in 2011 sounding a little like Donald Trump:
(Part 1: https://youtu.be/NWaCyKBh2jg)
Biggs - tear in his aorta.
Katsulas - lung cancer.
Doyle - ?
Conway - Would be classified as congestive heart failure now.
O’Hare - Heart attack.
Choate - traffic accident.
There are more, but I am sleepy.
THAT JERRY DOYLE??? the libertarian talk show host?
omg!
i would tune into him from time to time on the radio- he had a very interesting into/ & music for that- I always found him a bit off the wall but .....
dead?
thanks for posting
I appreciate this one of YOURS because I did not know about EpicTimes and am happy to read some of it. This one article of Jerry's final discussion / interview is quite striking. It does pain me that a person who says this; "And my job, in my life, is to minimize the damage this government does to me under the guise of helping me.", is no longer around to resist the Berniefied Hillary!
Wow.
I liked Doyle. Also Boxleitner. But Babylon 5 was butt awful....a direct ripoff of DS 9 (which was not the greatest but had its moments)
And what the hell was Mr Mollari? Where was Curly?
This turkey stayed on for years....yet only 14 episodes of the great Firefly were made .

“It is another loss in a string of losses that I cannot understand. Of the main cast, we have lost Richard Biggs, Michael O’Hare, Andreas Katsulas, Jeff Conaway, and now Jerry Doyle, and I’m goddamned tired of it.
“So dear sweet universe, if you are paying attention in the vastness of interstellar space, take a moment from plotting the trajectory of comets and designing new DNA in farflung cosmos, and spare a thought for those who you have plucked so untimely from our ranks...and knock it off for a while.
“Because this isn’t fair.
“And Jerry Doyle would be the first person to tell you that. Right before he put a fist in your face. Which is what I imagine he’s doing right now, on the other side of the veil.”
Damn! One of the good guys!

I feel sorry for any grown man who could write the above. There is enough self delusion in it to satisfy anyone. And, depending upon the source of Doyles’ conservatisim, a mighty misapprehension of his good friends motives aND inclinations.
Jerry must have had a terrific sense of humor.
Near the beginning of his radio show he played an audio that was really laugh out loud hilarious. Wish I had a link or something.
It was about a fellow driving in his car and observing a car that cut off another car piled up with old ladies. Three or four of the ladies wound up getting out and severely chastising that driver. The observer telling the story could not believe how hilarious it all was, and kept giggling. That laughter still rings in my memory as it was very infectious. One of the old ladies wound up literally whopping the offending driver over the head with a thick King James Bible!!
