Andy Hallett, who played the Host (AKA Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan, or Lorne), the anagogic demon who reads people as they sang in his karaoke bar on the TV series Angel, passed away on March 29 after a 5 year battle with heart disease. He was 33.
Never conceived as an on going character, the Host debuted in the second season opener of Angel. But Hallett's performance, and his talent as a singer, made the role grow from a one-shot guest spot to a recurring role. Hallet played the Host through seasons 2 and 3 and most of season 4 before being added as a full-time cast member for the final 9 episodes of that season and all of season 5.
His post Angel years were spent performing as a singer.
Sadly, Hallet is the second Angel star to die since it was spun-off of Buffy The Vampire Slayer back in 1999. Irish actor Glenn Quinn, who played Doyle during the shows first season, died of a drug overdose in 2002 at the age of 32.
