Andy Hallett mini-bio

Andy Hallett is from the tiny Cape Cod village of Osterville, part of the town of Barnstable. He attended Barnstable High School and then Assumption College in Worcester. Always shy, he didn't begin singing until Patti LaBelle invited him onstage at a concert.

After moving to Los Angeles he worked as a runner for an agency and then as a property manager and personal assistant. When "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) 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.

Hallett was featured in over forty episodes before appearing in the title sequence as a regular character. The character's demonic visage involved extensive prosthetic makeup and coloring, leading to early morning calls and long days for the actor

According to a 2005 interview, about a month after filming the last episode of Angel Hallett suffered a tooth infection which led to a case of cardiomyopathy for which he spent five days in the hospital.
He did not return to acting afterward (except for a voice acting part in Geppetto's Secret), but pursued his music career and frequently appeared at Angel- or science fiction/fantasy-related conventions.

Five years after first experiencing heart problems, and after at least three additional hospitalizations, Hallett died from congestive heart failureon March 29, 2009 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles with his father by his bedside.
