I just read this on io9:
News broke late last night that Andy Hallett, better known as Lorne in Joss Whedon’s Angel, passed away Sunday night from heart failure in LA’s Cedars-Sinai Hospital, following a five-year battle with heart disease.
Hallett, whose singing demon was one of the best things about the latter years of the Buffy spin-off, died with his father at his side, reports E! Online. The actor had a history of heart problems over the last few years, and had been hospitalized more than once during that period. A funeral service for friends and family is said to be being planned for this weekend.
Awww…That made me really sad. Just like a month ago I was whizzing right through old Angel episodes and was realizing more and more that Lorne was one of my favorite characters. I had been wondering why I had not seen Andy in anything else for the last couple years, this explains it. Our thoughts are with Mr. Hallett’s friends and family.
