Andy Hallett - who starred as Lorne ("the Host") on the TV series Angel - died of heart failure last night at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles after a five-year battle with heart disease - he was only 33.
Andy's character on Angel was Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan, or Lorne for short. Lorne was a friendly demon, who, when not assisting Angel and his team in the investigation of various and sundry underworld mysteries, served as the host and headliner at a demon bar.
He appeared on more than 70 episodes of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff, Angel, between 2000 and 2004. This is the second cast member of Angel we have lost - Glenn Quinn, who played Doyle in season one, passed away in 2002.
