Anthony Stewart Head (born 20 February 1954) is an English actor in theatre, television and films. He got his start in musical theatre, understudying for his brother Murray Head in "Jesus Christ Superstar," but didn't become known in his own name until he was cast as Frank N. Furter in the London revival of The Rocky Horror Show. A series of coffee commercials in Britain and the United States gave him a high profile and eventually led him to his most widely known role: Rupert Giles in the American television drama series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Fans of that show will undoubtedly recall that Anthony Stewart Head sang in several episodes, proving that he never forgot his musical theatre roots. In the UK, outside of Buffy, he is more commonly credited simply as Anthony Head, or occasionally Tony Head.

In 2008 Head played the title role in Repo! The Genetic Opera, as the film's grim reaper, an organ repossession man doing the bidding of an out of control biotech company called GeneCo.

More recently he can be seen in the UK comedy, Little Britain, and also in BBC's Merlin series. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
