Coffee, Rocky Horror and Spike
Kelly Wilson: What would you like to be best remembered for in your acting career?
Tony Head: I think the Gold Blend coffee commercial [laughs]. I don't know - just to be remembered would be pretty cool. Who knows what I have yet to do. So far I'm most proud of playing Frank N Furter in Rocky Horror. Also, a thing I did for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ called Spooks. A lovely show. I was very proud to be part of it.
Bethany Ros: Do you plan to take on any more roles which involve singing in the future? You were great in the Buffy musical episode.
Tony Head: Thank you very much. Yes, now and again I'm offered something with singing in it. If I identify with the music then I have to do it. Somewhere out there in the ether there's a little CD I did last year in LA called Music for Elevators. It's a funny little piece - an electronic and acoustic eclectic mix. I think you can find it on the Internet.
Katt: As an bona fide Englishman, what do you think of James Marsters' portrayal of a Brit?
Tony Head: I think it's fantastic. I think he's a consumate actor. He's really really good, I think he's ridden it very well, and I'm very fond of him. We occasionally get to act together, and it's great fun.
They were originally looking for Sid Vicious, but the northern voice he did, I thought sounded great. I thought it made him sound well travelled. I had to correct the pronunciation of the occasional word... one word they spelt 'bollix' But I said, "That's not the way it's pronounced!"
