Andrew Alcott Hallett was born on August 4th, 1975 on the small Cape Cod town of Osterville. Andy first sang when Patti LaBelle invited him onstage at a concert in Boston. Her praise boosted his confidence and Andy decided to sing more often. After moving to Los Angeles, Andy had a few jobs and a couple of non-speaking roles in commercials. Then Joss Whedon saw Andy sing in a Universal City Blues revue called BB King’s and thought of the part of the Host. Months later Joss approached Andy in an airport and offered him his first big time acting position as the Host on Angel.
Andy also appeared in Amber Benson’s Chance as Jack, and as an extra in the lecture hall scene (when Joss needed as many people as he could get) in Buffy episode Hush.
Played: Lorne ("The Host")
