Anthony Head, Buffy’s Giles and Ted Lasso Favorite, Dies at 72
British actor Anthony Head, famed for Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Rupert Giles and Ted Lasso’s Rupert Mannion, died at 72 from complications due to pneumonia, his daughters Emily Head and Daisy Head said in a BBC statement. A former Nescafe Gold Blend pitchman who later appeared in Merlin, The Invisibles and Bridgerton, Head’s career spanned stage and television, with a high-profile turn in Ted Lasso before his passing. He is survived by his two daughters, and his longtime partner Sarah Fisher died last year.
