Andy Hallett

Andy Alcott Hallett is an American singer and actor best known for playing the part of Lorne ('The Host') in the television series Angel.

When Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon saw Hallett singing in a Universal City Blues revue, Whedon conceived the character of The Host, an anagogic demon who reads people when they open up through singing karaoke. Hallett was invited to try out and got the part, his first job ever as an actor. Andy has enjoyed working on the series Angel and has been known to help his fellow cast mates out with their own karaoke singing.

Hallett got his agent after he appeared on Angel. She spotted him singing and acting in the second season premier episode "Judgment." The morning after the show was broadcast she called up the series casting agent and asked about him. He signed with her shortly after.
