Buffy and Ted Lasso star Anthony Head dies at 72

What? How can Tony Head be 72? Buffy was on just a few years ago!

Defensive humour aside, sad news indeed.
It's mad. At the time I thought he was just a sweet old man but now that I am approaching his age in Buffy I realise how young and handsome he was.

Looking back now if I was Joyce I would definitely be thinking my daughter was having an affair with her teacher.

His death is a bit shocking because seeing him in Ted Lasso I didn't realise he was anywhere near 72. Also with new Lasso and almost new Buffy I was looking forward to maybe seeing a lot more of him in the future.
 
I knew and occasionally worked with Sarah for over 20 years, and met Tony a few times socially through her. I cannot think of nicer, more altruistic, grounded and kind, funny couple. I had to do a conference presentation a few years back with her, we got the last slot of the first day and so with Tony's help, managed to write some comedy improv into it. I am so sad for Daisy and Emily experiencing the loss of both parents over less than 6 months.
 
Well, this sucks. I remember him as the hunky guy in the gold blend ads in the 1980s and then being wowed at how good he was in BTVS. And that wasn’t a fluke, he was great in Doctor Who, The Inbetweeners, Ted Lasso and anything I saw him in. Consensus seems to have been he was a really nice guy in real life too. The fact that his wife died 6 months ago just really rubs salt in the wound for his family.
