I've just seen his death announced at 71. I liked him very much as an actor- the coffee advert with Susan Maugham, Buggy and Dr Who come to mind. Far too young. RIP

Oh how sad, I was also a fan and I agree far too young. His brother Murray is also an actor but not so well known.
Both heartthrobs in younger years.

I had a big crush on Anthony Head and loved the coffee ad romance as well as watching him in Buffy.
Too young to go.
Thoughts are with his family 💐

His wife died at the end of last year too. Apparently it was complications after pneumonia

Such a good looking man. I especially liked him in Buffy and he was very watchable and believable as a real bad ‘un in Ted Lasso. Coincidentally both characters were called Rupert.
RIP

Loved the coffee adverts at the time. Very good looking actor and 71 is so young. RIP

Still a heartthrob at 72. What a sad time for his two daughters who lost their Mum too in December 2025. I loved him in Little Britain playing the part of the Prime Minister.

So sad to hear this news and to read that his wife died six months ago 💐
