Andy Hallett 1975- 2009



Angel Star Andy Hallett Dies Of Heart Failure At 33

I was shocked to hear of the death of one of the stars of "Angel", namely Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan, known as the "Host" or Lorne, which he didn't like being called because being green it inevitably led to lame references to
Bonanza.

I'm not a long-term "Angel" fan at all. The only reason I started to watch the reruns recently was because I've been cutting back on the news and it was often the only thing on very, very early in the morning.

Yes, I'm often up with the chickens watching cheesy cinema. Now you know and like you never suspected ;-)

Anyway, it's always sad to hear of someone passing so young.

RIP.

That is terribly sad. I liked that show and his character. It's just too young. :(

I do not know who this young man is or was, other than what you've told me here.
It is very sad that he died so young.
God be with his family and loved ones. They must be devastated by this loss.

I've never seen Angel. That mask looks like something you get for $7.98 for Halloween at Walmart. Did the makeup look this fakey in the show? Or is it a matter of lighting?

I think "Angel" was one of the shows I could not get because of a Congressional censorship law which would have fined my cable company for carrying it.

My goodness, that's so young!

I wonder what happened?

Such a loss.

dmarks-- the make-up was make-up, not a mask and yeah, pretty cheesy but that was part of the fun. His character was a singing lounge lizard guy who could also tell people their future by listening to them sing. It was very cool in my opinion. But I love stuff like that.

33! That's far too young.

Ananda girl: I've only watched "Angel" on reruns myself, but I have become familiar enough with the characters to miss Hallett's dry wit.

Jamie Dawn: Hear. Hear.

dmarks: I'm not sure, but I think it was mostly a fake nose, a fake chin, and the fake horns. The rest was just green pancake makeup. What's a green demon supposed to look like anyway?

Jen: I heard he had been battling heart disease for the last 5 years and it finally got the better of him.

Ananda girl: I loved Lorne's dry wit. I didn't care about the cheesy makeup.

Citizen of the World: I know. So sad.

My wife and I liked Angel and his character was fun. This is horrible to see man die this young.

I've never heard of AH or seen Angel, but you are right, Cube, 33 is too young to die.
