From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jerry Doyle (born July 16, 1956, in Brooklyn, New York) is an American actor and radio personality, best known for his role as Michael Garibaldi on the 1990s science fiction television series Babylon 5. His other science fiction acting credits include Sliders and Gangster World.
Previously a corporate jet pilot and after a decade as a stockbroker, Doyle made an abrupt career change into acting in 1991, and Babylon 5 was his first significant role.
Doyle is the ex-husband of actress Andrea Thompson, who played the role of telepath Talia Winters in the first two seasons of Babylon 5.
He currently resides in Las Vegas with his fiancée.

[edit] Politics
In 2000, Doyle unsuccessfully ran for the United States House of Representatives in California's 24th Congressional district (Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, to the northwest of Los Angeles), as a Republican. He later severed his ties with the party, and now declares himself an independent.
Doyle is now a talk radio host syndicated via Talk Radio Network, discussing politics, current events, and popular culture. On his radio show he coined the phrase "Grapefruit Mentality" referring to the public's fascination with issues and celebrities that don't really matter. While an avowed independent, Doyle still does many things to support the Republican Party on his show, such as asking his listeners the following on his website:
"Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi has said the entire Republican Party suffers from what she calls the "culture of corruption." Download this letter and send it to her as we have done on The Jerry Doyle Show asking her to swear that she does not have a single bad ethical mark on her record." <ref>www.jerrydoyle.com</ref>
[edit] Radio Show
Weekdays from 3PM-6PM ET (12PM-3PM PT), Jerry Doyle airs the popular Jerry Doyle Show on the Talk Radio Network. He is different from other afternoon drive talk hosts, such as Sean Hannity, in that he does not just talk about politics.
