Angel's Andy Hallett aged 33 years dies of heart failure

Andy Hallett, who starred as Lorne ("the Host") on the TV series Angel, died of heart failure last night at age 33, according to his longtime agent and friend Pat Brady. The actor passed away at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles after a five-year battle with heart disease, with his father Dave Hallett by his side.

Hallett, from the Cape Cod village of Osterville, Mass., appeared on more than 70 episodes of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff, Angel, between 2000 and 2004. The accomplished actor was also a musician and sang two songs ("Lady Marmalade" and "It's Not Easy Being Green") on the Angel: Live Fast, Die Never soundtrack, released in 2005.

The actor's character on Angel was Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan, or Lorne for short. Hallett's 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.

Joss Whedon's Dollhouse to Fox8 & TEN

Responding to a report in The Australian a couple of days back about Dollhouse and the TEN Network talking up the series at the upfronts in the US in May this year and Fox8 actually airing the series we contacted TEN Programming in Sydney Australia to get the good guff

It turns out there's good guff and bad guff, the good guff is that the folks who pay to watch their tellies and providing they pay for Fox8 they'll get to see it first.

The bad guff for folks who don't pay to watch their teevs is that TEN will air it after Fox8 but they said "we haven't got a date for it yet"

For Joss Whedon fans there is a description of Dollhouse with images and other stuff plus info and images the first three eps over ar The Happy Place Forums' Joss Whedon Dollhouse Shed >>
