Jerry Doyle (born July 16, 1956, in Brooklyn, New York) is an American actor and libertarian 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.
Doyle received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, while also receiving his flight training. 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. After starring on that show, Doyle ran for public office, but lost the race and subsequently became the host of the Jerry Doyle Show. While radio is his main occupation, Doyle continues to star in occasional voice acting and film roles.
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.
[edit] Radio Show
Weekdays from 6PM-9PM 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.
