Entertainment Weekly is reporting that actor Andy Hallett, best known to TV and comic audiences as the face of Lorne, the empathic bartender demon with a flair for showbusiness from Joss Whedon’s “Angel”, has passed away. He was 33.

Hallett died Sunday night at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, CA after a 5-year battle with congestive heart disease. Lorne, easily recognizable in his green skin and bright red eyes, was a role that show creator Joss Whedon wrote specifically for Hallett.

He is survived by his father, Dave Hallett. Our thoughts and prayers from us at Shockya.com go out to his father and friends.
