He is: Jerry Doyle
He's in: Babylon 5; the Republican Party
He's Here Because: He's buff. Cute little-boy smile, bedroomy eyes, sexiest head of non-hair in genre history, and, aside from these physical attributes, he played one of the most complex and intriguing characters on the much-missed Babylon 5.

The Fickle: Garibaldi Fanz Online

Though Garibaldi'z ezzential appeal cannot be denied, we can't help but wonder if zome people take theze thingz a little too zeriously. Zerious points for using Jerry Doyle's head az the letter "O" in their banner, though.

Actually, it seems poor Jerry has been abandoned by this page's once faithful webmistress, "The Fanatic," as she calls herself. Last updated in 1998, this is not the most current of pages. For all this page tells us, Jerry Doyle could be dead by now. Not that we want that, you understand. We're just saying, is all.

The Informative: The Jerry Doyle Drool Page

If, by any chance, you wished to drool over Jerry Doyle, this is pretty much the place to go. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, as far as the eye can see. Everything you always wanted to know about the brawny alter-ego of Securtiy Chief Michael Garibaldi and were afraid to confess to not knowing. For instance, did you know that Mr. Doyle has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aeronautics? Or that he was in an episode of Renegade? Or that he's running for office?

Oh, yes, it's true. According to his Shrine of Drool (and, really, what more reliable source could there be?) Republican Jerry is contesting a seat in the Congressional District of California. His qualifications? Well, he is quoted as saying: "I'm the only candidate with his own action figure." For that fact alone we dub him the coolest political candidate this side of Clint Eastwood.

And maybe he can get some of his Fanz to be Volunteerz.

The Generous: Dave's Babylon 5 Actor o' the Week

Jerry Doyle has won an Oscar! Yes, he has! He has so! Oh, look, stop contradicting us. He has. And that's enough argument out of you.

We're not saying that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was involved at all. And the field of contenders wasn't that heavy -- just the other actors on Babylon 5. And, sure, there was no awards ceremony -- which also means no acceptance speech, so that can be considered a good thing. And, sure, he probably doesn't even know about it, and couldn't care less. But none of these facts cast any pall upon this awesome achievement. Dave, B5 critic (and possibly a disgruntled member of the accounting firm that tabulates the Academy Award votes), deemed Jerry the best actor in the late Season 3 B5 episode "Walkabout." An honour indeed. And, since it was one of the last honours granted by the venerable Dave, then it can be considered unsurpassed as well.

Congratulations, Jerry. Don't forget the little people.
