Reception and Legacy
The American writer Studs Terkel was nicknamed after Studs Lonigan.
According to series creator Joss Whedon, the character Doyle in the TV series Angel was "totally based on Studs Lonigan. I mean, there's the tough-guy posturing, the endless self-pity, the suicidal binge-drinking, everything right down to the hopeless crush on the unattainable beauty. Oh yeah. Definitely a debt to Studs there."
