------------------- Andrew Alcott Hallett/The
Host (Lorne) -------------------
Andrew Alcott Hallett
Andy was born in the 4th August 1975 in 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.
Andy Hallett got his agent after his first appearance on the episode of
Angel Judgment. The morning after the show was broadcast she called up
the BtVS/Angel casting agent and asked about him. He signed with her
shortly thereafter.
Krevlorneswath of the Deathwok Clan
Also known as The Host and Lorne he arrived in LA after getting
sucked into a portal which appeared in his home dimension of Pylea. He
was never happy in Pylea, he knew that he was different from everyone
else there. When he arrived in Los Angeles he was brought by the portal
to a warehouse, which he created into a club for demons and humans alike
called Pylea. Lorne has the ability to "read" people, after
they sing he can guide the person, demon, vampire about their future. In
Pylea this talent is usually used to read an enemy's next move in
battle. The club that Lorne opened in Los Angeles was called Caritas and
was a sanctuary for demons and humans. But after numerous occasions on
which the club was blown up, burnt down or destroyed Caritas is no
longer there. Lorne has moved on and is now in Las Vegas where he's
reading people there. However the situation in Las Vegas wasn't all it
was cracked up to be, he was actually held prisoner there forced to work
against his will. Angel and co went up to meet him and turned out to
save him and bring him back to LA.
He's now living in the Hyperion Hotel and working with Angel & Co.
