David Doyle wanted Bosley to become a more serious character on Charlie's Angels

"I’d like to see Bosley do more on the series," said the actor.

Though working with three Angels would be enough to make any man nervous, David Doyle was a consummate professional.

The actor played John Bosley, a Townsend employee who frequently worked alongside the women on Charlie’s Angels, helping them crack a case or take down an evildoer.

“The fact that I’m involved professionally every day with three charming and beautiful women doesn’t make that much difference in my personal attitude toward work,” Doyle said during an interview with The Pittsburgh Press. “Ninety-five percent of the time, our contact is restricted to working conditions, so I rarely think of the girls on a personal level…Oh, I appreciate their femininity all right. I’m as aware of their charms as any healthy male would be. I wake up every morning delighted by the prospect of going to work.”

Doyle saw his co-stars as peers, and the cast had an amiable relationship.

“You have to be a good actor to hold your own with three beautiful girls,” said the actor. “But there is genuine rapport, affection and respect among us. Equal import is given to all three actresses in each episode.”

But while the show certainly centered around the Angels, Doyle hoped for an opportunity for his character to grow beyond comic relief.

“I don’t know of a show that has three equal leads,” said the actor. “So it gets harder and harder to add a fourth element of equality - me. I’d like to see Bosley do more on the series. I requested that he not be made to look like a dumbbell. I see him as a Robert Benchley type, in tune with the younger generation but not necessarily in agreement.”
