5 things you never knew about Anthony Head, the star of Buffy and Ted Lasso
* He almost didn't get the role of Giles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer because producers thought he wasn't funny enough. He had to audition twice, showing off his dry British wit, to finally land the part.
* Anthony Head was a huge pop star in the 1980s before his acting career took off. He was in the band The Rat Pack and even co-wrote a TV theme song, but he later said he "hated" the music industry.
* He saved a woman's life on a train in the UK in 2021, performing CPR for 10 minutes after she had a heart attack. He remained calm and later said, "I just did what anyone would do."
* The actor is a devoted father of two daughters, Emily and Daisy, and credits them with keeping him grounded throughout his fame. He also volunteered as a school governor for years.
* Anthony Head's iconic blonde hair on Buffy was actually a carefully maintained dye job, but he has since gone completely gray, and now rocks a distinguished silver look on Ted Lasso as Rupert.
