Personal Quote:

I don't take myself too seriously which is maybe why I've done a lot more comedy roles than anything else. I have more fun doing off-the-wall kinds of things. See more »

Trivia:

In the original, unused ending of Little Shop of Horrors he played the character of Patrick Martin. The role was eventually played by James Belushi but Dooley still gets a credit in the movie's DVD and in the special thanks section of the movie. See more »
