Biography

Mike Doyle (born September 16, 1972) is an American actor, screenwriter, director, and producer. He is best known for his recurring roles in the television series *Law & Order: Special Victims Unit*, playing Forensics Tech Ryan O'Halloran, and *Oz*, playing Adam Guenzel.

It was on the set of *Oz* that Doyle met George Morfogen, whom he would cast in *Shiner*, a short film written, produced, and directed by Doyle that debuted at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. Doyle also wrote and produced the 2003 limited-release film *Cutter*.

Doyle played Lt. Cmdr. Tom Palatonio in the 2005 action film *Phantom Below*, which is notable for having been released in multiple versions under multiple names which included or excluded gay content depending on the edit (the gay-themed edit was released under the title *Tides of War*). Also in 2005, he plays a gay coffee barista named Andy in *29th and Gay*.

On June 2, 2009, *The New York Times* published an article about Doyle and his tendency to die on screen during his acting roles. His seventh death, in the season 10 finale of *Law & Order: Special Victims Unit*, ended a successful six-year run as forensic tech Ryan O’Halloran on the show.
