Giles…

Posted by pierogi_waystation@reddit | Xennials | View on Reddit | 29 comments

I’m doing a Buffy rewatch for the first time in years, and I realized that Anthony Head - the actor who played Giles - was 43 in 97 when the show started.

I was Buffy’s age when the show was airing, and now I’m old enough to be her Watcher. My brain isn’t sure where to put this information.

I had such a crush on him that I bought his cd! Giles was so much hotter than Angel or Spike.

Ah yes, Mr. Head, whose brother had the most rewarding night in Bangkok.

He is a hottie as we used to say back in the day!

He showed up in Ted Lasso and it took me a minute to place him, but he's still got it.

I love it when he plays Ted at darts. So satisfying.

It was such a mind fuck to see him in that role right after binging all of Buffy again. He plays evil so well.

His name was Rupert there as well.

He was also the guy in those Taster's Choice commercials in the mid-90s

Never realised you had a different name for Nescafé Gold Blend. I guess it sounds a bit European. In fact I didn't realise adverts crossed borders in this way really.
