Anthony Stewart Head (Giles) was the first member of the main Buffy cast to be given a role. He was cast on the first day of casting. According to Marcia Shulman (on the ‘Casting’ featurette on the season 5 DVD) the moment Anthony spoke, they knew he was the one. Another interesting fact is that Giles was not originally written as English, Marcia felt this would be an interesting addition to the character after meeting Anthony. |

I wonder who John likes best ….
February 4th, 2006 at 1:47 pm
He does fit that role so perfectly. It would be impossible to dream of anyone else in playing that part.

music for elevators??? what kind of music is it???

Yeah, you can tell it is different but I am glad I got it, it is an awesome CD.
By the by, Giles (Head) was the best actor in my humble opinion. I have to say though Marsters gets mega points for an awesome accent. I didn’t beleive that he was Californian the first time I heard it.

No, but she ate her with it…(couldn’t resist the reference)…
February 6th, 2006 at 6:49 am
I know he is but isn’t it hard to beleive? Such a good accent!
February 6th, 2006 at 7:28 am
The best accent in the history of, um, ever. Abby - sorry, what was your reference to? Who ate their mother?
February 8th, 2006 at 7:48 am
Sorry: In an Angel episode when Faith is in a coma and she is communicating with Angelus, he says something really bad and she asks if he kissed his mother with that mouth and he replies, “No, but I ate her with it.” I remembered this imparticular so that if anyone asks me, “Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?” I can say Angelus’s reply and after doing it, people get really creeped out. Big fun.

Sounds like fun. Whenever you can creep people out with something you know if funny, it’s cool. Or make them laugh with something you got somewhere else. We were on the bus yesterday and we drove past this house with this huge boulder in their yard (not sure why) adn my friend Kelli says “That’s a big rock.” Automatically I just said Spike’s thing from Becoming Pt 1 about how his friends don’t have a rock that big. She thought it was hilarious. Until I told her who said it … and in what episode.
February 8th, 2006 at 10:39 pm
Yes! I love that line so much! In fact, on the forum, it is my signature!
February 8th, 2006 at 10:46 pm
I forgot about that. It’s a great line, Spike’s just pissed about Angel and his wheelchair … but mostly Angel.
Spike always has good one-liners. So does Andrew. And Anya. And most all of them.

hahahahaha yaaa thoes are some good qoutes….
so ya anthony has a bloody amazing voice…. his acctualy outside of buffy music is awesome
February 9th, 2006 at 8:24 am
I concur. BTW: I love Spike’s line, “Out…for…a…walk…..bitch!” So funny! His face expression and gestures really make it hilarious!
February 9th, 2006 at 9:54 am
There is almost no question that cannot be answered by that. Unless your father or one of your teachers is asking you. Or probably a cop.
February 9th, 2006 at 9:58 am
As long as we’re on the topic of great one-liners, I have to mention my favorite line of Anya’s.
In Entropy Xander and Anya are having their first talk since Xander left her at the altar.
Xander: Okay, clearly I’m not handling this well.
Anya: Well DUH!
The beauty of this line is that Anya is yelling this line at Xander with anger and pain, yet this line cracks me up every time. It’s the perfect comic relief for that scene.
February 10th, 2006 at 2:44 am
I love Andrew’s one-liners. Almost anything he says is funny.
“Timothy Dalton should get an Oscar and beat Sean Connery over the head with it!”
“If you leave me here, I’ll do evil things, like burning things and … gluing stuff together.”
“She seems like a good leader, her hair is shiny … does she make you stab things?”
“We rode on Spike’s hog, which was cool and got some information … and I really have to urinate.”
February 10th, 2006 at 7:10 am
I love Andrew, he is so funny: “Where were you? This funnel cake is kicking my ass!” He has on the oven mits and everything, it so great!
February 10th, 2006 at 8:30 am
Storyteller is the best. Anything centered around Andrew is hilarious. All of his made up things. Especially when they were in Mexico: “Jonathan has been a good friend to me here in Mexico. He said he’ll buy me burro!” And the “We are as gods!” thing.
February 11th, 2006 at 6:42 am
I also love (Storyteller) when Jonathon says of one of Andrews inventions, “it smells funny” and Andrew says “I know, kinda sweaty” and then whips around - he is hiliarious. Also, his line when he and Spike are on Spike’s bike (I think it’s Empty Places) and they’re talkin about the blooming onion. Andrew says something like “It’s an onion, it’s a flower. I don’t understand how such a thing is possible” - love that one too!
February 12th, 2006 at 9:02 pm
hahaha he’s sooo good..!
He cracks me up.
I love that line where Andrew tells Buffy that a cake is kicking his ass…
I wanna say that it was a bunt cake.. but am not sure..
Uhh God isn’t adrew just soo sexy in his white dress when he’s singing, we are goooods we are goooods :d
April 20th, 2006 at 11:46 pm
Hahha soo great!!
-We’r goooooods, we’r goooooods! :D
Cracks me up.
The best thing with Anya is that she says weird things in the wrong places.
As this, when She Xander and Dawn is playing the game of life,
Anya -Oh Great, Now I’m stuck with a needy husband, more cash that I could possibly handle and a lot of screamish children.
Xander: That means your winning..
Anya: OH! I’m so pleased…, Can I trade the kids for more money..?
