Jerry Doyle, known for his role on science fiction TV series “Babylon 5” and for founding EpicTimes, has died, his family announced on Thursday. He was 60.
TMZ reported Doyle, who was also the host of a nationally syndicated talk radio show, was found unresponsive in his Las Vegas home on Wednesday afternoon.
Cause of death is not yet known.
Doyle, a Brooklyn native, began acting in 1987 after working as a stock broker for a decade. He scored his first role on Bruce Willis TV series “Moonlighting” before being cast as security officer Michael Garibaldi on “Babylon 5: The Gathering,” a 1993 made-for-TV movie that launched the”Babylon 5” TV series that ran for five seasons until 1998. Other credits include “NYPD Blue,” “JAG,” “Sliders,” “Martial Law” and “Beverly Hills, 90210.”
More recently, however, Doyle turned his talents to radio, hosting the “Jerry Doyle Show” on Talk Radio Network. He launched news platform EpicTimes in 2013. The site has not yet reported on his death.
Doyle ran as Republican candidate for California’s 24th Congressional District in 2000, and wrote a book published in 2009 called “Have You Seen My Country Lately? America’s Wake-Up Call.”
A number of his fans are holding out hope that news of his death is some kind of hoax.
