Jerry Doyle (Mr. Garibaldi on Babylon 5) has died

[DA60]

From Wikipedia:

'On July 27, 2016, Doyle was found unresponsive in his Las Vegas home, and declared dead shortly thereafter. It was announced by his family over Twitter. The exact cause of death has yet to be declared. Tributes were received from his former co-stars, including from Bruce Boxleitner, who tweeted he was "so devastated at the news of the untimely death of my good friend". Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski released a statement, saying "Regardless of whatever was going on in his life, whether it was marital issues, a broken arm, forced couch-surfing with Bruce and Andreas or other problems, he never once pulled a prima donna on us; he showed up every day on time, knew his lines, and insisted that the guest cast live up to the standards of the main cast."'

I never heard his talk show - but I hear he was a straight shooter and a champion of the 'little guy'. Much like his Mr. Garibabldi character on Babylon 5; a role on a show, both of which I greatly enjoyed.

Rest In Peace

wow I heard parts of his show fairly frequently it was on the radio during my drive home from work so I would usually hear about 20-30 minutes of it 3-4 times a week. The guy had done a bit of everything in life it seemed. He had criticism or praise for either political party when due. seemed like a good guy.

I met him a couple of times back in the day but haven't seen him in many years. Too bad he's gone, he was a real straight shooter.

No, I actually was friends with JMS back in the day so I met the whole cast on numerous occasions.

Mostly really nice people. I know a lot of celebrities and if you meet them outside of the context of work, they're just regular people like everyone else for the most part.

Interesting. Anyone stand out in particular?

And may I know how you came to know these people?
