If the idiot in the White House had just stuck to playing golf, we wouldn't be in this mess. They could have given him a special golf trophy every morning, told him he'd won a peace prize every afternoon, then let him nap the rest of the day away with a Fisher-Price phone to post his tweets, and our economy would be buzzing along.

As Giles on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Anthony Head brought depth and gravitas to both the role and the show as a whole, and was pivotal to the series incredible success and cultural impact. But whether in Merlin, VR 5, Warehouse 13, Doctor Who, or any other film, TV series or theatre production that he appeared, Anthony Head always elevated them with his charisma and talent. His work as an actor brought us all so much joy. He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Our thoughts to his family and friends.
