Andy Hallett, who played Lorne on the TV series 'Angel',passed away sunday at the age of 33 due to heart failure.

This is really sad. Angel is one of my favorite tv shows and Lorne was such a great character in the show. R.I.P Andy.

Here's the article from aol:

Andy Hallett, the actor who portrayed the cheerful green-skinned demon Lorne on the TV series 'Angel,' has died from heart failure following a five-year battle against heart disease, according to E! Online. His friend and agent Pat Brady confirmed that the actor passed away at the age of 33 on Sunday night at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles with his father Dave Hallett by his side.

The actor and musician appeared in more than 70 episodes of Joss Whedon's series 'Angel' between 2000 and 2004 and contributed two songs to the 'Angel: Live Fast, Die Never' soundtrack, released in 2005.

Hallet's career took off when he was dragged on stage at a concert to sing with Patti LaBelle. He was later seen in a Los Angeles revue by 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' creator Joss Whedon, who created the demon character Lorne in the show's spin-off 'Angel' just for him, according to WENN.

A private funeral service will be held for family and close friends in Cape Cod, where Hallett was raised.

I had no idea he was so young during Angel. Excellent character in an excellent series.

BTW, he just had to be gay, right?

Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Well, I don't know if he was gay, but if he was that really shouldn't matter. He was a good actor and singer and that should be all that matters.

You know, it's funny--I've been thinking about Hallett recently because current American Idol contestant Adam Lambert's singing reminds me a lot of Hallett's performances on Angel.
