Used to love watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one of the reasons being the performance of Anthony Head as Rupert Giles, Buffy’s watcher. Sad to see that he’s passed away at the age of 72.

It's getting closer and closer
Solid character actor who always elevated whatever he was in. RIP.
He will always be the Gold Blend smoothy to me.
Good actor too.
Watching him the other night in ‘Motherland’, brilliant comedy of which ‘Amandaland’ is a spin off. It’s 4 or 5 years old but, even though it was unmistakenly him, he’d aged considerably from his ‘Mr Smootharse’ days. Fine, versatile actor.
He was brilliant in Ted Lasso as the ex football club owner.
Bob being a Buffy fan wasn't on my bingo card for today but there you go.Quote:

Anthony Head was a month older than me. I was 72 in MarchQuote:
