    Glenn Quinn looked so gorgeous and I agree I also believe he is the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen in my life. When I first saw him in Angel I didnt realise he played Mark in Roseanne and for some reason I didnt notice how great looking he was in that show. And it wasnt just the way he looked it was the look in his eyes and his mannerisms that just crowned those Celtic good looks of his. And coupled with that Irish charm and humourous nature, what girl alive could resist? (I know I can't). I only found out that he was dead last week when I wanted to find out more about him. I was so shocked and now I feel so emotional. When I started fancying him, he was sadly already dead. When I rewatched the episode where Doyle died last night I couldnt help but cry a little cos I knew the actor himself was dead.

    He was a beautiful beautiful man albiet messed up. I hope whereever he is now hes found some peace.

    A great talented wasted. hide show

    It's so sad to think that Glenn is gone, he was a great talent and it's just terrible that his career was cut so short. As Doyle, Angel's comedic side kick on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off Angel, Glenn gave a lot of goofy charm and funny wit. He had a great vibe with David and good chemistry with Charisma. The little time he spent on the show is well remembered by fans and even though he was a part of the show for such a short amount of time he made a lasting impression long after he was gone both with the fans and over the course of the rest of the show.

    A great actor as 'Doyle' on the first season of 'Angel'. He will be sadly missed :(:(:(:( hide show

    This actor is my most favourite actor of all time. I've just found out about his death just two days ago!!!! I'm watching the first season of Angel at the moment and wow, he got my eye as the great actor in the series!!

    Honestly, if I've just found out nearly five years ago, then I would've cried my eyes out forever!!!! This actor is the most charming and gorgeous actor that I've ever seen in my whole life (because of the Irish accent).

    My favourite character that Glenn Quinn did in his whole acting career is Doyle on Angel. He's funny, he's cute and he's got some talent - a talent that would've taken him far beyond the stars to reach his ultimate goals!!!!

    If I was an actress, the person that I would really love to work with is this guy, because he takes his chances to fulfill his dreams that landed him with heaps of roles!!!!

    If only I got his autograph a long time ago!!!! I'm missing him so much!!!!
    :(:(:(:(

    Greatly Missed! hide show

    Glenn Quinn was such a talented, and loveable actor. he was so FUNNY on Roseanne as Mark. he is the reason i started watching it on nick @ nite. not to mention he was GORGEOUS! Mark is easily one of my fave characters on the show. then, there was his show Angel where he proved (in case anyone had forgotten) what a great & charasmatic actor he was. Doyle was a fun-loving & adorable irishman which is what i think Glenn was most like, just an an all around GREAT person who was fun to hangout with...thats how i remember him. the entertainment industry lost someone who could of made an even BIGGER impact, but unfortunately, didnt have the chance too...

    RIP Glenn Quinn 1970-2002 Gone too soon

    I liked Doyle. hide show

    He was a great addition to Angel, he made Season 1 so great and I missed seeing him. He ends up dying in the show at mid season 1 and it's pretty sad, and then later ends up dying in real life, Glenn Quinn was a great actor and I thought by writing this review that it won't be forgotten.
