I am so sad and shocked about this. Andy Hallett, who played Lorne on Angel: The Series, has died at the age of 33 after a long battle with heart disease.
He took a character who was basically a joke and imbued him with enormous soul. He was the guy you rooted for; despite being green-skinned and horned, he was the “regular guy” in the crew when everyone else was all dark and twisty. And clearly, this was Hallett’s tremendous presence.
He will be missed. May he be born again to those who loved him.
damn.
33? Good grief.
Good bye Andy, safe Journey.
So sad. Lorne was one of my favorite characters in the Whedonverse, and Andy played him with such wit and soul.
Rest in peace, Andy….. My favorite character from Angel. Agree with you, he invested his character with enormous soul.
Yow! Without a doubt one of the best things about Angel.
So horrible. I was just poking around about him the other day on IMDb.
