Damn. The Buffy cast has been taking a beating in the last couple years. RIP, sir.
What? How can Tony Head be 72? Buffy was on just a few years ago!
Defensive humour aside, sad news indeed.

It hasn't reached Babylon 5 levels yet, but damn, three cast members in almost two years is depressing.
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.
That sucks. He was great in Buffy and I really liked him in Ted Lasso.
RIP.
RIP.
RIP
Oft overlooked but he was also wonderful in Destroy All Humans 2.
I really only know ASH through his Doctor Who appearances (he did audio, too) and Merlin. And I found him a delight in Merlin. Oh, Uther waa not nice (and quite proudly so), yet ASH played Uther with a cantankerous charm. He was almost villainous, yet it was impossible not to respect, even grudgingly like him.
When I wrote an outline for a Merlin novel years ago, I didn't have much of anything for Uther to do, unfortunately. He was more the watchmaker; he set the plot in motion, and the kids had to resolve what he began.

The sudden and untimely death of his partner must've surrely crippled his health, and I guess he never climbed out of his grief and deppression.
