Jimmy Doyle(I)
- Actor
- Writer
Jimmy Doyle is an actor and writer living in Los Angeles. While perhaps
best known as the loveable dad or costumed character in numerous TV
commercials, he is also an accomplished essayist and spoken word
performer. Originally from the South Side of Chicago, Jimmy is an
alumnus of The Second City. He began his successful solo performance
career nearly two decades ago as a Chicago Reader Critic's Choice, and
his most recent one-man show, "Must Be Nice," was workshopped at the
Comedy Central Stage in Los Angeles and headlined the 15th Annual
Fillet of Solo Festival in Chicago. He's written for two of TV's great
one-named divas, Roseanne and Jackée. Jimmy is a regular performer with
Sit n Spin at the Comedy Central Stage and has been published in
various venues, including Newsweek, Salon, Fresh Yarn and the Journal
of Need and Want. But what makes him the proudest of all is his EU
passport, which he holds as a dual Irish-American citizen.
