Anthony Stewart Head Dead at 72

I am so sorry to report that Anthony Stewart Head has died at the age of 72, apparently of complications from pneumonia.

As a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and as a librarian, Anthony Head meant a lot to me. It makes me even sadder when we consider that he is the third Buffy cast member to pass away in just a year and a half. I saw Head in person once, striding through a cemetery on the way to shoot a Buffy scene back in season seven, and I'm not kidding, I was living in Los Angeles back then and got to see the show being filmed a few times.

I can't write too much more. Please feel free to post a comment. What was your favorite Giles scene? I loved the one in the Espresso Pump. On the serious side, the one where he cried in Buffy's arms after losing Jenny.
