Actor, singer.  He is best known for the character Lorne that he played in the television series “Angel”.  Lorne was a good guy, green-skinned, red-horned demon that ran a karaoke club in the series.  Ironically, it was in a karaoke club that Hallett performed at that he was discovered and encouraged to audition for the series.  “Angel” ran for five seasons and was cancelled in 2004.  Hallett was diagnosed with congestive heart failure at the end of the series and he spent quite a bit of time in and out of hospitals the last five years.  At the time of his death he was concentrating more on his music, having stepped away from acting.  He was admitted to the hospital after having difficulty breathing and succumbed there to the heart disease that had plagued him.
