35	!!Tropes associated with his work:
36
37	* ActorInspiredElement:[[invoked]] He auditioned for Doyle using an American accent, like he put on for most of his roles. Joss Whedon however suggested using his natural Irish accent (although he had to put some American pronunciations in there allegedly to make it easier to understand).
38	* TheCharacterDiedWithHim:[[invoked]] After his passing, the decision was made to not recast Mark on the ''Roseanne'' revival, and the character was killed off too.
39	* TheDanza:[[invoked]] Doyle's middle name is Francis, as was Glenn's.
40	* DawsonCasting:[[invoked]]
41	** He was already twenty when cast as the teenage Mark on ''Roseanne''.
42	** He was twenty-two playing sixteen in ''Film/DrGiggles''.
43	* FakeAmerican:[[invoked]] Most of his roles, with ''Angel'' being the most notable one in which he got to play an Irish-accented character (as well as a few episodes of the Irish soap ''Fair City'').
44	* FakeBrit:[[invoked]] He puts on an English accent for ''Covington Cross''.
45	* FriendshipOnTheSet:[[invoked]]
46	** David Boreanaz was very close with Glenn and called him "a dear friend" on the 20th anniversary reunion.
47	--> "Glenn played a great character, but also became a really close friend of mine. God rest his soul."
48	** He was also good friends with Christian Kane and Creator/CharismaCarpenter.
49	* RoleEndingMisdemeanor:[[invoked]] Doyle was killed off on ''Angel'' sooner than planned because his drug addiction was getting too difficult to ignore. David Fury later confessed that they were worried it would rub off on his co-stars.
50	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:[[invoked]]
51	** Mark was intended as a one episode guest star, but was expanded into a series regular for seven seasons.
52	** Doyle's role was originally meant for Whistler, who'd appeared in the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' Season 2 finale. Supposedly his actor Max Perlich was unavailable.
