Gosh, this one struck us hard when we heard! This man felt like an old friend and actually a father figure during our journey with Buffy the Vampire slayer. It just seemed like he was going to be around forever!

We also saw him in Ted Lasso and didn’t even realize he was the same person! He just was a remarkable actor.

Sending so much love to his family, loved ones, to the Buffyverse cast who knew him and to the fans who grew up with him!

This along with Nicholas Brendon’s death is so shocking and heartbreaking.

Rest in peace, our forever Librarian! ❤️❤️

Omg I can't believe it. I grew up watching Giles back when Buffy was on TV since the beginning in 97. I wonder how he passed. He was up there in his age. Rest easy Anthony head, you will always be remembered by millions of Buffy fans including me

BatmanFanGirl

OMG NOOOO. Ugh. I hate this news.

Ann Haugen

That’s so sad. I’ve just been rewatching Merlin, and I rewatched Buffy with you two, and he is just brilliant. I also loved seeing him and Craig Ferguson having a laugh, talking about the «good old days» on The Late Late Show.

Josh Minke

aww. loved him in Merlin as Uther Pendragon. RIP

Rebecca Snyder

This one hit me hard. Grew up watching this man in Buffy and then Merlin. He's always kind of felt immortal, the same way every kid thinks their parents are, and it's heartbreaking to learn that he's not. RIP Anthony. I hope you're resting with Sarah.

Kendra

Watching the musical, hearing him sing, wish I could stay...I'm a mess 😭

Roon

So sad. He was a lovely man. Met a few times at conventions over the years. Used to joke with him because we have the same birthday.

Miss Maya

absolutely heartbroken by this news. I feel like my adopted dad has passed away. and part of my childhood is gone. rip legend. amazing actor and amazing person 😢💔

Hazlin Aminudin

I take solace in the fact that it seems that he lived a good life. He had family who loved him, respect and adoration from friends and fans, and he left behind a legacy he'll always be remembered fondly for. Lay your arms down, and rest in peace at last, Anthony. You'll always be our Giles ❤️

Debbie_G

What!!! Noooo!!!! 😭😭😭 OMG. This hurts

Joyce05

Goodbye old friend. Thank you for your warmth and kindness. You were a big part of lives, one we’ll deeply miss. If grief is love persevering, may our love lift you up to eternal peace. Buffy 6x7: 🎼 i wish I can lay your arms down and let you rest at last Wish I could slay your demons but that time has passed Wish i could stay…🎶

Ashley Thomas

nooooo! i hadnt heard. i loved him, he was great. his wife died not that long ago, i wonder if that played a part.

Jontor11

I will never forget his surprise return to Buffy in 6x21 when he just comes in and says "I'd like to test that theory". I cried of relief because he was such a wonderful character on that show. I am truly shocked he has passed away this early. He was in his 70s...but I wanted him to be around forever. He felt like a warm blanket comforting you...

Anita

Id never even thought of it like that. Thats gutting

danzthename

God damnit. This is heartbreaking. Can we stop losing Scoobies please? 😢

BattyT

No!! This is so upsetting and a shock to me :(((

Carmel

So sad to hear this and of course it's raining here too. RIP Anthony🙏🕊

Joshua Scott

Rest in Peace to a Legend. The Magic Shop is closed. 😞

CattFink!

This is a sad one. 72 doesn't feel so old anymore. That's a little younger than my parents. I think I'll watch the Doctor Who (one of my comfort shows) episode 'School Reunion' where he plays a head master and villain. It's a wonderful episode. I'd have loved a world where we got an Anthony Head Doctor. Maybe he could have been squeezed in somewhere between the Tennant and Smith eras. He'd have been a brilliant... not companion, maybe fellow traveler? Co-conspirator? Co-pilot? I could see an Anthony Head/Doctor duo. He would make a delightful intergalactic, non-human, dashingly handsome, smarty pants of some sort. Hell, he would have made a brilliant River Song. This is the wrong forum for whatever I'm working on here. I'm glad that Anthony Head gifted us all with such an incredible body of work that we can always refer back to. If anyone hasn't invested some time into his Frank-N-Furter, I highly recommend it.

Kammy

This one hurt, I’m gonna go rewatch some of his stuff. If yall haven’t seen it already, Repo! the Genetic Opera is so good and he’s just amazing in it, he really gets to show off his vocals in that one!

Neila Forssberg

This one hit so hard. I just can't. 😭😭

Snepaj

My sister texted me the same day he passed that Giles died. Really hit as he was such a father figure for us having grown up with Buffy.. Truly been hard with so many of the cast passing.

Cool Engines

Really Heartbroken over this. My heart goes out to his family. RIP Anthony.

Cool Engines

Me Neither. Man this hurts very much. Loved Anthony Head sad to see him go, With the love of his life now.

Jbug

very sad to lose someone so amazing from a show that meant so much to my childhood 😢Giles was a goat... RIP 🕊

~Athena~

He was also great in Merlin, RIP Anthony Stewart Head <3
