It's a melancholy time in the Whedonverse, as one of its own has passed away before his time. Actor Andy Hallett (http://www.tv.com/andy-hallett/person/2532/summary.html), who played the demon Lorne in Angel (http://www.tv.com/angel/show/12/summary.html), died Sunday night from heart failure at the age of 33, reports E! Online (http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b106789_Angel_Star_Andy_Hallett_Dies_of_Heart_Fail ure.html). He had been battling heart disease for five years.
Hallett appeared in almost 80 episodes of the paranormal dramedy, and donned green skin and horns for his role. As Lorne, also known as "The Host" or by his full name Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan, Hallett added plenty of comic relief to Angel. Lorne's kind were supposed to be at war with humans, but he instead embraced their arts and served as the emcee at a karaoke bar.
After Angel, Hallett dedicated his time to his music career, playing shows around the country. A private funeral is scheduled later this week in his hometown of Cape Cod.
Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.







He brought a smile to many with that character on Angel. Much too young to leave us. Rest in peace.

It really makes me sad, at 3 MEgaCon's i have spent time with him when our table was placed next to his signing booth for 2 consecutive years. He actually remembered us the 2nd year and the 3rd year when they redesigned the layout he sought us out during one of his breaks and we even went to lunch with him. He was a great person full of life and it truely saddens me that his life ended so early.

Gosh that is such a shame, it really saddened me when I found out he had this condition.
33? That's just not right.

Rest in peace Andy, or, as we like to call him, 'looney toons' (ok, so Harmony does..)
