72-yr-old Anthony Head, the suave, smooth-voiced British actor known for roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Ted Lasso, has died.
Head’s daughters, actors Emily and Daisy, say that their father passed away due to complications from pneumonia.
The performer became known to British TV audiences in the 1980s as one half of a will-they, won’t-they romantic couple in a series of ads for Nescafé instant coffee.
Head achieved U.S. fame as librarian Rupert Giles, mentor to the title character in the cult-favorite supernatural series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which ran from 1997 to 2003.
His daughters say their grief is far greater than the hole he has left behind, but they know his legacy will live on, in the shows he was a part of, and in the audiences that love them.
