RiP Anthony Head

[25mini7]

So sad rip

Loved him. RIP x

How can he die and Trump, Putin etc remain on this earth? If he was only remembered for Buffy or advertising coffee he's done more than those 2 loons.

Such sad news. He was always the most watchable person in anything he appeared it, projecting warmth, humanity and wry humour. We’ve lost one of the good ones. 💐

I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times through my work. Genuinely a very nice man. I’m so sad to hear the news of his death.

No!!! That sucks.

Really really sad. Forlorn I will never meet him on a train now as so many mnetters seemed to! RIP Anthony Head. 🩵

Noooo! Giles!

Also he was the best baddie in Ted Lasso. So sad.

This thread has made me realise the only things I’ve ever seen him in are Motherland and the coffee ads, but I loved him in both. And over the years there have been so many threads on MN talking about what a lovely man he was.

Can vouch for this. Met him at a Buffy Con when I was about 15. He was so lovely. Gutted. 😥

Omg yes I suddenly developed a huge crush on him but only as Ripper. He was a brilliant actor, truly.

I am genuinely really sad at this news, Giles was my favourite character in Buffy, and when I worked in Homebase in Bath as a student, he often came in, and was just such a lovely guy. I really feel for his daughters, losing both parents so close together.

He was a baddie Alien in Dr. Who playing a Headmaster. Opposite Tennant and K9 (robot dog)

So sad to hear this. If anyone can watch it, he was a revelation in a series called Free Agents. Hilariously rogueish and delivered one liners like no one else. I also had a huge crush on him for many many years. I once saw him in the south, holiday time where he had taken his aged but impossibly glamorous mother for a classic ( but upmarket!) pub Sunday lunch. What a couple, star quality both of them, and he was so caring and solicitous of her. A shame, a loss. RIP.

Best captain in the skies.

Multi talented and a genuine nice guy.
Played everything with real passion and conviction from librarian to Frankenfurter.
Loved him since the Gold Blend ads
R.I.P Anthony.

@RapunzelHadExtensionswhich con? I wonder if I was there too?

I am gutted, cried when I heard the news. I really loved him, he was so fantastic as Giles. I met him something like 6-8 times when I was younger at various conventions and outside the back door at a theatre when Alyson Hannigan was starring in “When Harry Met Sally”. He was a wonderful and kind human being. I remember when I first met him, I was so overwhelmed I just garbled about how I had his album “Music for Elevators”. He seemed bemused and said that was very niche and asked how I had found it!

Watching Buffy now in his memory. RIP Tony/Giles

Very sad news, such a versatile and talented man and it seems that he was universally liked

So sad x

Will have a cup of coffee in his memory.

I loved him in Motherland and the Inbetweeners.
I am sending hugs to his family 💐

Oh no 😟

He always came up in the nicest celeb threads.

I knew him primarily as Sarah Fisher’s partner - she died not long ago and was well known in the dog world.

Their poor girls 😟😟😟

Was lucky enough to meet him several times. Just the loveliest man. Heartbroken for his girls, with his lovely partner, Sarah, having passed so suddenly 6 months ago. 🙏

I shall have a cup of coffee in his honour

I will have to dig out his albums.

Loved Giles in Buffy. Here he is wigging out the scoobies singing in Season Four:
