In 2004, Andy was nominated for a Golden Satellite Award for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Drama Series" for the series Angel.
When Andy was 13 years old he bought a school bus from a friend of his dad's for $500. One night he snuck out in his bus with six of his friends and the cops arrested him because the vehicle was unregistered. He was taken to jail in handcuffs at 14 years old and his mother had to bail him out. Andy said that having his mother show up was worse than actually being in the cell.
Andy's character Lorne was only supposed to appear on Angel for two episodes, but the fan response was so positive that the writers kept writing him into the show.
Andy Hallett: (To his fans) If you're telling me that via a television set, or in person, I made you smile or laugh, or perhaps offered a "fun place for you to go" in your mind… I want you to know it works both ways, because you definitely have that effect on me.
