    Man, RIP

    I love Ted Lasso and Merlin, and Buffy. He was a good actor.

    He plays a charming asshole so well he must have actually been incredibly nice IRL (I feel like that always correlates).

    Giles was also a fun character.

    Watching Ted Lasso, I got all nervous when he was about to show up. I wasn’t prepared for Tony Head to be all crazy old, but then he’s fucking hot as shit because he’s Tony Head and being 70 is like no big deal.

    But this is not going to work. He needs to seriously stop being dead…

      I was supposed to see Chess in the West End with Elaine, Tommy and Murray, but Murray was “ill” so ASH was playing Freddie.

    Head first found fame in the UK in the 1980s as the face of Nescafe coffee adverts on TV.

    The US too. Although I don’t think I realized it until now that he was from those adverts.

    What a great actor. The article fails to mention Repo: The Genetic Opera, in which Anthony Head played an incredible part, despite the film being pretty weird and not exactly good overall.

    I’ll put away my hope that they’d commission a 3rd series of Back and that it’d have more Charismatic Mike.
