We Lost Another Great One / myLot

Over the weekend I learned that we lost Anthony Stewart Head and my heart shattered. I know that he starred in so much more than Buffy the Vampire Slayer but that is how I remember him the most. He will always be Giles to me. The father figure of the Scooby Gang. My sister and I just had no words. I honestly thought it was another scam but no it was real and we lost another great one. Anthony will always be missed and my heart is breaking. I won't go into his roles or anything like that as there's so much I doubt there would be space. I'm just going to go over here and be sad now.

I only know him from Buffy: the Vampire Slayer as well. He was so good in that, and it’s really sad that he passed away.

It becomes more frequent the older you get. I do not watch it so do not know him.

He's done a lot more I just know him from that. He also had a music career. His voice was beautiful.

@JordanLader I had to look him up. He was 72 which is still young but he had a very wide career in films & sining. I think l recognise him but l rarely watch TV or films so would not be able to identify him.

I saw where he had passed. So sad. Even if they did a continuation of the show he won't be around to be Giles. It is so sad to see him gone now. I only knew his role as Giles but can understand there must have been more. I am a big fan of Buffy and have posted about it and the possible continuation of the story many times on here.
