Glenn Quinn was born May 28th, 1970, and was raised in Cabinteely, Dublin, Republic of Ireland. He moved to the United States in 1987, and prior to his role as Doyle on Angel, was best known to American audiences as Becky's not-too-terribly-bright husband Mark on the long running sitcom Roseanne. Quinn attended Clonkeen College in Ireland, and took co-star David Boreanaz and his then wife (who is also Irish) on holiday during a two-week break in production in the summer of 1999. Although he spent years doing an American accent on Roseanne, he loves the fact that Whedon and producers made Doyle Irish when he was cast. 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". Glenn Quinn also starred in Beverly Hills 90210. Doyle, the character he played on Angel, was a demon who had a secret crush on Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter). Even though Doyle is dead, this is a tribute to the outstanding time he had with Angel.
