Angel's Andy Hallet Dies





Andy Hallett, the singer who gained fame as the green-skinned demon Lorne on Angel, has died of congestive heart disease aged 33.

Hallett was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after having problems breathing and died there on Sunday.

It follows a five-year battle with the heart condition.

Hallett appeared on more than 70 episodes of Angel between 2000 and 2004.

Born and raised in Osterville, Massachusetts, Hallett moved to LA when he was 23 and worked as a messenger at a talent agency.

He went on to become an assistant to the wife of Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon - who had Hallett audition for the part of Lorne on Angel after seeing him perform karaoke.

Hallett proved himself a fan favourite on the show as the show tune loving, red-horned demon who could read a person's aura when they sang, revealing their problems and futures.

Hallett was diagnosed with his heart condition at the end of the show and had been in and out of hospitals for the past five years.

He decided to concentrate on his own music, stepping away from acting, agent Pat Brady said.

Hallett, an only child, is survived by his father Dave Hallett and mother Lori Hallett.

A private funeral service will be held for family and close friends in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, this weekend.

G6. I owe you. I remember seeing Icerigger (couldnt remember the name but remembered the front cover) decades ago, but couldnt identify it to buy it. I have just bought the Kindle version of the first and second of the series. I'll check out if the human bear is a cousin or an interloper. Much appreciated G6.

ps I also loved Enemy Mine despite it being panned by critics and still get a tear in my eye with the final scene where the human's adopted alien son/daughter is presented in a ceremony on the child's world incorporating the human's name in the lineage. Top story.
