Anthony Head (sometimes credited as Anthony Stewart Head) has passed away.

His daughters shared that "he passed away peacefully of complications due to pneumonia, surrounded by his family" at the age of 72, according to BBC.

Buffy fans will most know him for playing Rupert Giles, the titular character's beloved mentor, in all seven seasons of the series. He also voiced the character in video games, the Slayers audio series, and the unproduced animated Buffy pilot.

Outside of the Buffyverse, he's had a long range of roles on screen and stage. Some highlights include roles in Little Britain, The Rocky Horror Show, Merlin, Repo! the Genetic Opera, and Ted Lasso.

#hello again martin and bosco!! sending you boys round for another go :)

So like a long time ago I had a professor that I absolutely adored. She happened to be Japanese American. She grew up speaking Japanese at home but never really spent a lot of time in Japan. She mostly spoke with other Japanese Americans and read books.

So one day early in her teaching career there’s an exchange student from Japan who’s having a hard time understanding a concept so she explained it to him in Japanese and then he looked absolutely rattled. Like in shock. Pale.

This is how she learned that the way she speaks Japanese makes her sound like a gang member.

And then all the other Sesame Street character accounts joined in:

And now I’m thinking maybe we’re gonna be okay… 💗

"So, boss... I may have messed up."

"What did you do, Ray?"

"Well, I made a post for Elmo saying 'Hi, how's everybody doing?'"

"I mean, that's kind of what we pay you for."

"Yeah, but.... <sigh> it turns out pretty much everyone is hanging on by a thread, badly enough that they needed to tell Elmo."

"Oh."

"God help me, boss, I think Elmo needs to be there for them."
