‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and ‘Ted Lasso’ Star Anthony Head Dead at 72

Anthony Stewart Head, the British actor best known to international audiences as Rupert Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has died at the age of 72. Head’s daughters, Emily Head and Daisy Head, confirmed that he “passed away peacefully of complications due to pneumonia, surrounded by his family.” Head had a long and storied career on television and in film, but for many fans, though, he’ll always be Giles, the Watcher, mentor, librarian, and emotional anchor at the heart of Buffy.
