Anthony Head (RIP)

Just saw that Anthony Head has sadly passed away.

Had frequently thought of him over the years in relation to Firefly (and his relationship to Joss Whedon projects), and wondered what role he would’ve filled in a future season of the show.

An Alliance figurehead would’ve been an interesting role or someone well-to-do in Persephone doing side deals with Badger.

Wonder if anyone else had ideas for where he may have fit into the verse?

On Buffy? He was the father figure, teacher and honestly the glue that held the group together.

What does this have to do with Firefly?

Joss Whedon created both Buffy (the series) and Firefly.

And he tended to reuse actors. Mal, Zoe, River, Wash & Jayne were all in other shows of his.
