Andy Hallett, who starred as Lorne ("the Host") on the TV series Angel, died of heart failure last night at age 33, according to his longtime agent and friend Pat Brady. The actor passed away at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles after a five-year battle with heart disease, with his father Dave Hallett by his side.

Very sad to hear that. Lorne was just the best.

That sucks to the nth degree.

I'll do the dance of grief in his honour.
I can't believe how young he was! Wouldve been what, 24 when he first started appearing? Maybe it was just the green hiding it, but that surprised me.

He will be missed.

I'm babbling like a moonbrain.

I have not watched any Angel episodes yet (I'll get to the rest of the Whedonverse eventually), but it's still sad to me that someone died so young. Heart disease at that age? I know it's possible, but it certainly is not common.

NO WAY!!! This is very shocking to hear. He will be sorely missed.

I'm buying the rest of the series. Recession and Connor/Cordy be damned!

Wow. That is so awful. Lorne was such a vital part of the series (the opening shot in season 2 of him at the mike looking all menacing and then starts singing "I Will Survive" is one of my favorite Whedonverse moments) and even if he did semi-retire after the show wrapped due to his heart condition, he certainly made an impact.

Here's the moment I was talking about. And he will survive.

That is terrible news. I saw him in a panel at Dragon*Con once. He was pretty funny.

Ah, man that sucks!
I loved him as Lorne, he brought something rare to the show, class. He was very funny to,...what a loss...
