Anthony Head's Secret Career Move That Changed TV Forever
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans know him as the wise and witty Giles, but the actor initially turned down the role twice before accepting, a decision that nearly altered the course of the iconic series.
- He secretly auditioned for the role of James Bond in the 1990s, but his refined accent and theater background were deemed "too posh" for the gritty reboot that later went to Pierce Brosnan.
- Head's singing career, including a chart-topping hit as part of the pop duo in the 1980s, was deliberately hidden from Buffy producers for years to maintain his serious acting image.
- The actor admitted in a rare interview that his character's death scare in Season 6 was a real threat, as network executives were considering killing Giles off due to budget cuts.
- At 70, he's currently filming a secret project alongside his daughter, Daisy Head, marking the first time they've acted together on screen since a commercial in the 1990s.
