Saturday, June 6, 2026 - Anthony Head, the actor best-known for playing Rupert Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has di£d aged 72.
“He passed away peacefully of complications due to
pneumonia, surrounded by his family,” his daughters Emily and Daisy Head said
in a statement today, June 5.
“It has been, and forever will be, an honour and a privilege
to be his daughters, and to have witnessed first-hand the impact both he and
his work have had on so many.”
“We know how dearly he will be missed by friends, colleagues
and fans of the shows he was in – he loved his job very much and he always
considered himself incredibly lucky to have been able to work alongside such
exceptionally talented people, in such wonderful productions, across a career
that spanned several decades,” said his daughters.
“Our grief is far greater than the hole he has left behind
but we know his legacy will live on in the shows he was a part of and in the
audiences that love them.
“How lucky we are to know we are able to watch him doing
what he loved, even when he is no longer with us.”
