Andy Hallett, who starred as Lorne (otherwise known as Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan or simply "the Host") on the Buffy spin-off TV series Angel, died of heart failure last night at age 33. Hallett passed away at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles after a five-year battle with heart disease. Hallett's character Lorne was one of the most popular characters on the show, co-starring in over 70 episodes between 2000 and 2004. Lorne was the musically-talented host of a demon karaoke bar for much of the show's run before becoming an entertainment agent for the stars at evil law firm Wolfram & Hart.
Hallett was also an accomplished musician and sang two songs ("Lady Marmalade" and "It's Not Easy Being Green") on the 2005 soundtrack Angel: Live Fast, Die Never.
According to e-online, Hallett spent his post-Angel years working on his music career, playing shows around the US. He had been admitted to hospital a few times in recent years for his heart condition.
Hallett's death is the second amongst the cast of Angel. Original cast member Glenn Quinn, who played half-demon hero Doyle in Season One, died in 2002.

I liked Doyle. Stopped watching Angel after he left. Didn't know he died.
Dang. That's a shame. He was a bright spot on "Angel". Loved that show. RIP.
