We usually save these sad stories for Sunday, but I doubt THIS WEEK will include Andy. He was a fun character on the very good Joss Whedon show called "Angel," and it's too bad that he passed away so young.

Andy Hallett, who made his mark playing the green-skinned, good-guy demon Lorne on the TV series “Angel,” died Sunday in Los Angeles. He was 33. The cause was congestive heart disease, which he had fought for five years, his agent, Pat Brady, said. Mr. Hallett was taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after having problems breathing and died there.
