Just a flyby to wish Vincent a happy birthday – hope it’s a good one!

I don’t think anything has saddened me more as of late than news of Andy Hallet’s tragic passing. You may not know his face, you may never have heard his name, but to millions of Angel the Series fans he will always be Lorne, the amazingly talented and snarky, easily irritated, quite flamboyant and semi-empathic peacemaking Pylean also known as Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan.

Andy was one of the most talented men of his generation. He was handsom, charismatic, talented actor and singer who’d suffered from cardiomyopathy since 2005. I actually remember when he was first hospitalized for that, and how worried everyone was about him. I don’t think we ever really thought we’d lose him, though, but we did. He passed away last night (March 30) of heart failure. He was only 33 years old.

My heart goes out to his family and friends, I wish them nothing but well and hope that they’re making it through this tragic time. Andy will always be loved and missed, and will always be a song in our hearts.
