VIDEO: Anthony Stewart Head Talks Merlin Season 3

By  | 

Anthony Stewart Head is someone I’ve had a wee crush on since he first tried to shoo the Scoobies out of the Sunnydale High library in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. British, witty, cute in a rumpled-yet-dapper sort of way, I wished Giles was my high school librarian. Somewhere along the way, however, I got the impression that the actor was a little standoffish and not all that excited about interacting with fans. After meeting Tony at Comic Con last summer, I know that couldn’t be further from the truth!

Tiffany and I had the pleasure of interviewing Tony about playing Uther Pendragon in Merlin season 3, which was about to premiere in England then and debuts here in the U.S. on Syfy January 7. We’ve opted to bring you the entire video even though it clocks in at more than 10 minutes long, because the guy is just adorable and there really isn’t anything that can be cut. Laughing and teasing and generally having fun with a table full of reporters, Tony was one of the highlights of last year’s Comic Con for me. Enjoy!
