"Angel" star Andy Hallett dies at 33

Fans of the Buffyverse were saddened this week with the news that Angel star Andy Hallett died Sunday night from heart failure at the age of 33. Hallett played Lorne, the telepathic demon who ran a karaoke bar and sometimes helped Angel.

While Lorne's sexual orientation was never explicitly addressed, he certainly had his flamboyant qualities, frequently flirted with Angel and knew how to make use of a gay pop culture reference, inspiring fans to speculate about Lorne's sexuality.
