The cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer has paid tribute to Anthony Head, who has died at the age of 72.  British actor Anthony starred as Rupert Giles in seven seasons of the hit TV series, Buffy’s Watcher and mentor. “RIP… he was so kind and generous of a soul,” David Boreanaz, who worked with Anthony on the first three seasons of the hit show, shared on Stories. “There’s a hole in the World.

It’s quite stressful with how fast we move and how much they want to do, but if you don’t pinch yourself every day and go, ‘Wow, how fun is this?’ then you’re wasting your time.” The original Vampire Chronicles novels by Anne Rice have sold over 80 million copies, while the iconic 1994 film starring Hollywood juggernauts Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt grossed more than $200 million worldwide. The AMC TV show had, as showrunner and producer Rolin Jones tells it, much to live up to: “It was a remake of that thing from the ’90s, and the expectations are low.” And yet his Interview With the Vampire exists entirely outside the formidable shadows of …
