I loved both BTVS and Angel and was shocked to see that Andy Hallet "Lorne" had passed of congenital heart failure at the young age of 33.  I was truly hoping to see Joss use his talents again.  I loved my SeaBreaze drinking green music lovin demon...Whats your favorite Lorne moment? I loved every  moment he flirted with co-stars.

Oh no... I hadn't heard anything about that. Andy Hallett's gone - unbelievable. I used to go for cocktails after work when I lived in SE Asia, got a taste for a good Seabreeze then, and years later I think of Lorne every time I have one. Well, I'll raise my glass to Andy Hallett every time from now on.
   Favourite Lorne moment.... is during AtS 3x14 (?) 'Waiting In the Wings'; he's back at the hotel minding Connor while the rest are at the opera. The lullaby he croons over the cradle goes something like:

"Close your eyes / go to sleep / rest your head and feel say-afe
Cos you're wi-ith / Uncle Lorne / who-in-no-way-resents-not-being-asked-to-go-to-the-opera
And who's certainly / not thinking / of selling-you-to-the-first-vampire-cult-that-makes-him-a-decent-offer, ..."

etc. Pitch-perfect, delightfully wry and effortlessly screwball delivery, as always. We already miss Lorne; now we'll just also have to miss Andy Hallett. Bottoms-up, buttercups!

LORNE: Angel cakes. Don't make me ask you to leave.

Or Lorne listening to Angel sing Mandy.  Whew.
If we want her to be exactly she'll never be exactly I know the only really real Buffy is really Buffy and she's gone' who?

Omg. I really hadn't heard that. I'm almost crying sitting here at school, because he was such an amazing character:) The show just wouldn't have been Angel without Lorne. He was amazing.

And hahaha I loved that lullaby in Waiting in the Wings. It was the best moment. Or the tired dejectedness in NFA when he tells Angel what's essentially goodbye.

Or in Smile Time when he's like, "Hold on, my little prince! Doctor! Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house!"

or the entirety of that Halloween episode in Season 5, can't recall the name though:)

Lorne was missed sorely, and now Andy Hallet will be as well. RIP.
