Anthony Head is a British actor best known as his role as Giles in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' when he went by his full name, Anthony Stewart Head, and more recently as King Uther in ''[[Merlin]]''. He also had a short role as Will's terrible dad in ''[[The Inbetweeners|The Inbetweeners Movie]]''.
He also has an album, played Nathan in the [[Rock Opera]] ''[[Repo!
Long before he was Giles, he was most recognisable for being half of an insufferably smug [[Will They or Won't They?]] couple flirting over instant coffee in commercials for Nescafé.
Oh, and he played Dr. Frank N. Furter in at least four different productions of ''[[The Rocky Horror Show]]'' (the original theatrical musical that became ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]''): in the 1990–91 West End revival, again in the summer of 1995 at London's Duke of York's Theatre, a 3 May 2006 tribute show at London's Royal Court Theatre, and a 14 October 2000 production at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. His rendition of "Sweet Transvestite" from the West End production was released as a single in 1991.
In 2007, [[Joss Whedon]] announced that Head was poised to resume his role as Giles in a [[BBC]] TV ''Buffy'' [[Spin-Off]] entitled ''Ripper'', but the final negotiations apparently fell through and the show was never made. Characters and plotlines developed for ''Ripper'' were later adapted for Dark Horse's ''Angel & Faith'' comic book.
He is the brother of actor/singer [[Murray Head]].
