Anthony Head as a Villain

[nightshade]

Anthony Head had a varied career and didn't always play roles as lovable as Giles, do you have a favourite villainous character he played?

 

[NotASlayer]

Probably in Ted Lasso. Also called Rupert!

I think I have only seen him in a villainous role twice? That and Doctor Who.

 

[nightshade]

I'd say he was maybe not the villain but certainly not a good guy in Repo: The Genetic Opera

 

[DeepBlueJoy]

In Merlin he was both scary and magnificent.

 

[RachM]

Probably in Ted Lasso. Also called Rupert!

Agree! He is soooo good at playing a bad guy in that!

 

[ILLYRIAN]

And yet when he portrayed the alien in Dr. Who who forced schoolchildren to start to help his race of aliens take over the universe, he played a wonderful bad guy.
Second only to nightshade's call of him in The Genetic Opera.

Paracelsus in Warehouse 13 season 4.

I haven't seen his other roles, but I admit I loved the dark side we saw out of him at the end of "Halloween" when he beats the crap out of Ethan. Annnnd the creepy side of him when he smothered Ben. Whew... That was dark, but I loved how nonchalant he was about it!

He was an awesome actor. (I still want to write *is*). He reminds me of Gary Oldman in the fact he managed villainy and heroics and even whimsy and did it so well.

And he was also a man who prioritized his family. Bet his girls are glad he did not stay in the US for his career and instead got to watch them grow.

He did not waste the time he had.
