Anthony Stewart Head told the BBC why he decided to take the part as Giles: “When you’re an English actor in Los Angeles, most of what you see is fairly caricature, two-dimensional. Mostly villains or idiots. We’re always the token buffoon colonialist who is responsible for everything going wrong. When I read the script for Buffy, I was blown away by the fact that someone could actually write for an Englishman. Usually people write complex sentences, and there’s also a cadence and intonation that American writers can’t write. Joss Whedon has a wonderful way with dialogue. So I was desperate to turn the pages to find out what would happen, but also laughing loudly. It’s very rare you get a script that’s so spot on. The role initially attracted me because I could see lots of levels, lots of areas to play.” |
