My heart broke when I read this news this morning.

This is truly heartbreaking. I've watched the Angel series two times and Lorne was a fabulous character throughout his tenure on the program. He added so much to the overall quality of the program. I was always delighted when they let Andy sing. I can't say enough about how much Andy/Lorne added to Angel.

Very sad news indeed. Though my knowledge of his carrer is pretty limited to "Angel" a role that required him to be covered in green make-up full time, his performance throughout the series was simply outstanding. He often recieved many of the series funniest lines. And one of my favorite episodes of "Angel" the "The House Always Wins" showed Andy at his best. I heard about his heart issues shortly after Angel ended. I can't remember if I read somewhere that his heart condition was something he had since birth or not. As a heart patient myself it really touched home for me. Good-bye Andy Hallett.

I've always said one of the most amazing and emotional moments I've seen on TV is Lorne's final scene on Angel. A fitting last line for him and a fitting wish for him to Rest in Peace. "Goodnight folks."

Angel's second season is really where the series came to life and Hallett is one of those reasons. Along with the addition of Amy Acker, Hallett is what made this series so much more than just a spin-off of Buffy. Too bad Whedon seems unable to create the same kind of interesting characters on Dollhouse.

That's a shame, particularly when you keep Glen Quinn in mind. Rest in peace -

I just started watching the show, so I haven't seen this character yet, but after watching the clip I'm already impressed. It's so sad to loose such a talented person.

I actually got a chance to know Andy when I was young. My mom was really good friends with his mom and I would go over there and hang out a lot. Although I was young I remember how nice and caring he was. he always had a smile on his face and even thought i was about 10 years younger than him he would always just hang out with me like I was one of his friends. I have not seen Andy for over 15 years but I will never forget him. he was a great man and talented actor. May his soul rest in peace and I wish the best for his entire family. God bless

This is so sad, he was so young & had his whole life ahead of him. I also watch him every morning & love the shows he has been in. He will be missed by many people, he made you laugh & smile which is very hard to come by these days, I hope his family will read this & know he had many fans who loved him & are in mourning also. I am praying for his family that God will give them peace in the days ahead. We all should treasure today as the Bible says that no one is promised a tomorrow !

I also wanted to add I have never seen a picture of him without his green makeup & other than his great talent he was also a very good looking man. Rest in peace- such a sad loss !

I had often wondered why I'd never seen that talented guy since Angel. He certainly brought a lot of life to that character.

Sad that he never got to realize his full potential.

I had the pleasure of going on a slayercruise and having Andy there the whole week to entertain us, He was truly a gentlemen and appreciated his fans. At a signing table once he was at the end and James Marsters was at the beginning and James noticed the line was going really slow and yelled down to Andy to "hurry it up!" cause you see Andy greeted everyone of his fans with a smile, an appreciation, he didnt just sign the photo and not look up he engaged everyone and thanked them for their support. I will remember his smile always, and his lovely spirit. We will miss you Andy!
