I came to the show "Angel" late in its run. But I did grow attached to the characters, especially as I watched them in reruns. So it is with heavy heart that I post this: 

LOS ANGELES — Andy Hallett, who made his mark playing green-skinned, good-guy demon Lorne on the TV series "Angel," has died of congestive heart disease. Hallett was 33.

Hallett was taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after having problems breathing and died there Sunday, following a five-year battle with the heart condition, his agent Pat Brady said Tuesday.

His father, Dave Hallett, was by his side.

"Andy was the all-American boy from Massachusetts," Brady said. "He was a hoot. He was comfortable wherever he went. Girls loved him. He was a very gregarious, happy young man."

Read the rest here.

I saw this in the news and it made me sad. Lorne was a great character, and I think that most of what made that so was Hallett's personality shining through.
