The thing I’ll always remember about Glenn Quinn, who played the original half-demon sidekick on “Angel,” is how loathed his character was (he was the only regular at the beginning who did not emigrate from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) – until he died. Then all anybody could talk about was how to get him back.
Herc,
Call me The Crow....I hate having to be the bearer of bad news....but since word hasnt leaked around to any other geekly sources, i suppose i better step up to the plate.
A fellow writer of mine, Kristen, at Corona's Test Pattern just confirmed through various sources that Glenn Quinn, or as loyal Angel fans knew him, the much missed half-demon Doyle, passed away this Tuesday. He was 32.
Even though the guy had already moved onto other projects, I dont think im alone in believing that he was one of the main reasons Angel got off to such a great start in that struggling first season. I can't really remember another situation where a character who only stuck around for one season was so beloved by fans. He was missed before. He'll be severely missed now.
"Revolution is my name..."
American “Angel” fans who discovered the series after its first handful of episodes and missed the whole Doyle saga will get to see all of Quinn’s short-lived contribution to the show when the “Angel” first-season DVD is released on Feb. 11.
