SFX Blogger Narin Bahar has some very sad news.
Andy Hallett RIP
Actor Andy Hallett, renowned for playing Lorne in Angel, has died aged just 33.
Posting on his MySpace page, former Angel make up designer Dayne Johnson broke the news late this evening. He said: "It is with great sadness and my heavy heart to have to tell those of you who do not know, that Andy Hallett passed away last night. His friendship and laughter will be remembered forever."
Andy Hallett was born in Massachusetts and moved to Los Angeles where he got the role of the karoake-loving Host after Joss Whedon saw him singing in a Blues revue. The role was his first ever job as an actor. He had been in ill health for some time.
A fan favourite, he was a regular on the convention circuit, and visited the UK many times appearing at events and signings.
SFX is shocked to hear this news and our sincerest condolences to his family and friends
