The Bystanders

Kate Lockley -- Elisabeth Rohm

Elisabeth Rohm, 26, was born in Dusseldorf, Germany, and was raised in New York. She received a bachelor of arts degree in drama and history from Sarah Lawrence College before beginning her acting career. She first appeared on "One Life to Live," as Dorothy Hayes, but her stay there was short, only five months in 1997-98. From there, she had an uncredited role on Woody Allen's "Deconstructing Harry," and made guest appearances on the 1998 remake of "Fantasy Island" and a short-lived CBS series "Turks." She's also appeared in the NBC miniseries "The 60s" and in "Eureka Street." She recently completed work on an independent feature called "The Schemers,"and is preparing to star on the long-running series "Law & Order". Although she labels herself a "New Yorker" and expressed a wish to do theater, Rohm has since made the move to L.A. and "Angel." For fun, she enjoys such outdoor activities as hiking, skiing and biking, and she likes to study architecture.

Alan Francis Doyle -- Glenn Quinn

Alan Francis Doyle was half demon, half human, and all annoying -- until a vampire with a soul and an ex-high school cheerleader helped him get in touch with his humanity. As penance for mistakes made during a dark time in his life, he was sent to help Angel by The Powers That Be (who prefer to speak through headache-inducing visions rather than burning bushes). Initially he seemed sympathetic to Angel's plight but preferred not be involved beyond passing on his visions. He was much more interested in drinking, gambling, and chasing pretty girls -- especially Cordelia. But helping the hopeless can wear through any tough exterior -- even one erected by a guy who was simply having a hard time dealing with the demon half that he didn't discover until he was 21. That discovery ruined his young marriage and sent a once-sweet 3rd grade teacher into a downward spiral that ended with him drunkenly refusing to help his own kind escape a horror known as the Scourge. His refusal led to several deaths and the painful visions from TPTB, who wanted atonement. And atonement they got when one night, confronted with the nightmare Scourge of his past, Doyle finally got that being half demon doesn't mean you're not human, that heros come in all shapes and sizes, and that sometimes sacrifices have to be made in the fight against evil. With one last (and first) kiss for the girl he could have loved, Doyle gave his life to save his friends and those in need.

Glenn Quinn moved to the States from his home town of Dublin, Ireland at the age of nineteen, and was soon spotted by casting director Johanna Ray ("Twin Peaks", Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart), who helped him get representation and before long, his audition for "Roseanne." Swallowing his Irish accent, he was so convincingly American that his "guest star" role lasted until the series ended in 1997.

During the run of the sitcom, he was also tapped to star in the shortlived but critically acclaimed medieval drama, "Covington Cross." That series' early demise was mourned, but for Glenn, it was probably just as well, since doing two series at once is particularly torturous when they are produced on different continents. Quinn currently resides in Los Angeles, close to the hot new nightclub GOLDFINGERS, which he co-owns with fellow Irishman and close friend Mark Leddy.
