British actor Anthony Head, best known for his roles in Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Ted Lasso, has died at the age of 72, just months after the death of his wife, Sarah Fisher.The news was shared by his daughters, actors Emily and Daisy Head.“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of our extraordinary father, Anthony Head,” they told the Press Association. “He passed away peacefully of complications due to pneumonia, surrounded by his family. “It has been, and forever will be, an honour and a privilege to be his daughters, and to have witnessed firsthand 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.”Their statement continued: “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. We kindly ask that our privacy is respected at this difficult time.”Born in Camden, London, to documentary filmmaker Seafield Head and actor Helen Shingler, Head quickly found his way into acting. “When it’s in your family, it’s a choice, it’s there,” he told Metro in a 2013 interview. “It’s not a jump to say, ‘I want to act.’ When I was six I was in a little show my mother’s friends organised, playing the Emperor in The Emperor’s New Clothes. I remember thinking: ‘This is the business, this is what I want to do.’”More to follow...
