Jerry Doyle, Sundays Midnight-2am.

The character of Michael Garibaldi on Babylon 5 is not far removed from the real Jerry Doyle, as they both uphold high standards, are outspoken and have lived a vivid past. The Jerry Doyle radio show is a mix of politics, pop culture and current events. Jerry's strong opinions, diverse background and quick wit will inform and entertain any listening audience.

Like the character he portrayed on the Emmy Award-winning series, Jerry is not one for proceeding in life on the normal track. At the height of a ten-year career on Wall Street, Jerry decided a new career challenge was in order. In 1991, he packed up and headed to Hollywood. With no prior acting experience, Jerry Doyle hit the streets and phones with a vengeance. Within weeks of arriving in Los Angeles, Jerry landed his first job. He was hired as a "day player" on The Bold and the Beautiful, a role that lasted almost a year.

In July of 1992, Jerry shot the pilot for Babylon 5, and in 1998, completed his 110th episode of the hit series. He went on to star in the TNT original movies, The River of Souls and A Call to Arms. Jerry recently completed filming an independent film entitled Open House and the HBO original feature Lost Treasure. Jerry has also starred in, Code Hunter, Devious Beings and The Long Ride Home. His series work includes: NYPD Blue, JAG, Martial Law, Sliders, Beverly Hills 90210, Homefront and Reasonable Doubts. Jerry has also done extensive voice over work on the animated series, Duckman and Captain Simian, along with numerous national commercial voice campaigns.

Taking a hiatus from acting in 2000, Jerry pursued yet another personal goal. A long time political junkie, he ran for the U.S House of Representatives for Californiašs 24th District. While the March primary saw him become the Republican Congressional Nominee, in the November election race he came up short.

Jerry grew up in Brooklyn, NY, the eldest son of a police officer and a stay-at-home mom. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, while also receiving his flight training. After graduation, he joined the marketing and sales division of Falcon Jet Corporation.

Active in the community, Jerry has served as President of the Easter Seal Society, Childrenšs Hospital Board of Trustees and the Multiple Sclerosis Board of Directors. He has raised funds for many charities including Disabled American Veterans, UCLA Medical Center, Breast Cancer, Aids Walk-LA, Cystic Fibrosis and the Motion Picture and Television Fund. He has received numerous awards and accolades including Honorary F-16 Test Pilot, Honorary Naval Aviator and Distinguished Supporter of the Nationšs Space Program.
