Q&A
The sorcerer returns with more magic and mayhem this weekend, and Skins star Mackenzie Crook is getting in on the action.
A host of guest stars join the young sorcerer for more magic this autumn.
Actor Colin Morgan says playing the role of the young wizard in Merlin is something of a boy's own adventure.
Most of us probably know Tony Head from his role as Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Considering the depth of the character and the amazing way Tony portrayed him, am not surprised. The man is very versatile, able to do comedy and drama with the same intensity. In his role as Giles he was absolutely convincing as the rather silly authority figure and as the sorcerer with a past. My personal favorites are the unemployed Giles from season 4 and the season 5 finale where he showed he's not exactly a nice man.
Beyond Buffy, he's done great work in larger parts (Manchild) and smaller (season one of Jonathan Creek). He also played a Doctor Who villain perfectly, the chilling adult aspects of the series once again underlined with his performance. Tony is especially memorable as the Prime Minister in Little Britain, the amorous target of his aide Sebastian. Watching him evade Sebastian's tries are absolutely hilarious, whether he's dusting in a black leather harness (!) or having Sebastian sing Beautiful to him. I hope they haven't buried the watcher series completely, Tony Head deserves more work. The man is a wonderful actor as well as a complete hottie.
Anthony Stewart Head is a very talented actor who has done many different roles but is most known for his role as Rupert Giles, the Watcher in 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'. And I have to admit that, for an older man, he's also incredibly attractive!
Also known in the UK for his role in Nescafe Gold Blend adverts during the 1980s (where he and Sharon Maughan play a couple who get together over coffee), it was 'Buffy' that really catapulted him to public acclaim. He can also do comedy extremely well, playing the Prime Minister who must fend off maniacal obsessive attentions from his besotted assistant Sebastian (David Walliams) in the hit UK comedy series 'Little Britain'.
Recently, he guest starred as a villain opposite David Tennant in the new series of 'Doctor Who', thus cementing the whole cool vibe. And just to add the icing on the cake he has also played Frank n Furter in the stage version of 'The Rocky Horror Show'. How cool is that?
Anthony Stewart Heads biggest role wos in Buffy the Vampire slayer where he playd old librarian Giles, who wos actually Buffys mentor and her guardian. The role of Giles fited him perfectly, but it made im little bit too old, actually in real life his is little bit more youthfull and happyer. He has many different talents that actor need: humor, sexy, smart, mysterious. He really made the role of Giles his own and at the end I wos very surprised when he did magic it really suited him. I really hope to see more of him on television, but he is allready little bit old but lets hope age only gives him bigger edge.
"Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty? It raises the dead! Americans!"
"Since Angel lost his soul, he's regained his sense of whimsy."
"Let me be sure I have this right - this witch is casting horrible and disfiguring spells... so that she can become a *cheerleader*?"
"Testosterone is a great equalizer. It turns all men into morons."
"In order...to be worthy...you must perform the ritual...in a tutu. Pillock!"
Just a few memories...
Anthony stewart head is really really fit for his age. I mean you've got to admit he has gorgeous eyes and a cute smile. I'm only 15, and he is hot in my eyes, and it was a brilliant idea to use him as the prime minister in little britain....he just seems like the person you would fancy. I'd be his assisstant any day!!
