[Pipsqueak]

Okay, I see the notice on www.glenn-quinn.com. But I can't find an actual news blurb about it anywhere else. Where did you find this info, drlloyd?

If it's true, that's such a shame. He was a fantastic actor. Damn ... I'm just stunned.

[Hemiola]

If true, it is sad and shocking...he was so young .

[pagnmickie]

It's strange that no one is saying what happened...

[oncemorewithfeeling]

Such sad news,
Loved him on Rosanne & Angel.
I know Tim Minear confirmed it according to some posts on bronzebeta. :(

Edited to add :- Sorry Xita, forgot about Sig still attatched.

[Rosenberg]

That's terrible news, especially not knowing what actually caused it.

[DRUSILLA LOVER]

[willntlover]

Oh no! That is so horrible.

I'm just...stunned.

[Katharyn]

I always liked Glenn Quinn, he was great in Roseanne, obviously a very capable and talented actor who was good at holding his own with established stars like John Goodman. I thought he was good on Angel too I considered it a great shame when he was replaced on that show.

Gone, not forgotten.

That's terrible news.
I really enjoyed watching him as Doyle in Angel S1.
Condolences to his friends and family.

[White Rabbit 1642]

It's very sad.

But it's also just so weird that his death has not been publicised. No one has reported it - not the BBC, CNN, E Online, etc.

Surely this kind of thing normally gets into the news.

He was great on both Roseanne and Angel.

Geeze, we lost Kevin 'Ares' Smith at the start of the year and now Glen. All the good 'uns are going way too young.

This is truly sad.

[Wytchi Grrl]

Oh my, this is just very sad news. He was my fave from Angel. And as it has been said who can forget him as Mark on Rosanne. My thoughts are with his family and friends .

[nepthys12]

How sad. And at such a young age, too.

He will most definitely be missed.

Angel's Quinn Is Dead

Glenn Quinn, the Irish actor who appeared in the first season of The WB's Angel, died suddenly of undisclosed causes this week, a spokesperson confirmed to SCI FI Wire. The spokesperson declined to reveal details of Quinn's untimely passing until his family could make arrangements for his funeral. He was 32.

Quinn played the regular character of half-demon Doyle in the 1999 premiere season of Angel, but his character was killed off and replaced with Alexis Denisof's Wesley. At the time, series co-creator Joss Whedon said that Doyle's abrupt departure had been part of the show's plan from the beginning.

Quinn was born in Dublin, Ireland, and moved to the United States with his mother and two sisters in 1988, according to the IMDB. Among his various film and television roles, he is most recognized for his Angel role and for playing Becky's husband, Mark, on TV's Roseanne.

Hello Kittens-


Ow. He was so good as Doyle. My wife especially liked the way he played the half demon. I think he's a large reason Angel took off as strongly as it did. We were hoping he'd show up on BtVS.

Thanks for the thread, mods.

I'm....shocked. I don't know what to say.

[Hanki]

this is sooo sad

my condolences to glenn's family and friends

[starlitefaeriegrrrl]

oh my gods. I am so... oh my gods. I loved him- I always yell during [b:f4437fed96]Roseanne[/b:f4437fed96] reruns for the other characters to be nicer to him and I stopped watching [b:f4437fed96]Angel[/b:f4437fed96] when Doyle died and I am so incredibly sad now. He's one of my very few and far between boy crushes.

This is just... *sad face*

[Xanadu21]

32...wow he was really young My condolences to the family, this is really sad news.

[Rane018]

oh dear i hope another good actor wasn't lost to drugs

[WonderAnt]

this is horrible, he was so talented! i absolutly adored him in Angel and Roseanne. i had always kinda hoped he would return to Angel someday, he was the greatest part of that show. much love to all his friends and family, you are in my prayers.

does anyone know if any of the buffy/ME peeps (besides TM) have made any comments on this? its kind of odd that so little has been said...
