David Fitzgerald Doyle (December 1, 1929 – February 26, 1997) was an American     
actor.                                                                             
                                                                                   
He is perhaps best remembered for his role as detective John Bosley on the         
television series Charlie's Angels, for which reason he is occasionally mixed up   
with TV actor Tom Bosley. He is also remembered by younger generations as being     
the voice of Grandpa Lou Pickles on the Nickelodeon animated television series     
Rugrats until his death. Doyle died of a heart attack at the age of 67 in Los       
Angeles, California on February 26, 1997. The role of Grandpa Lou Pickles was       
taken over by Joe Alaskey, better known as the voice of Plucky Duck in Tiny Toon   
Adventures.                                                                         
                                                                                   
Doyle was born in Omaha, Nebraska to Mary Ruth Fitzgerald and Lewis Raymond         
Doyle, an attorney. His maternal grandfather, John Fitzgerald, was a prominent     
railroad builder and banker in Nebraska. He graduated from Campion High             
School in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin in 1947. Doyle was married twice, first to   
Rachel, then Anne Nathan Doyle. Doyle had a sister who was mostly a stage           
actress, Mary Doyle, who died from lung cancer in 1995.
