Grindhouse
I just want to state for the record that Anthony Stewart Head is absolutely adorable. He's so not Giles. He is the giggliest man I have ever seen; Jack's man!giggles have nothing on him.

He talked a bit about his new show, which unfortunately will not be filmed in front of a live audience. He is ecstatic about getting to do a gig for the show, but that won't be filmed in front of an audience either.

Someone asked him about dressing up as Frank N Furter, and he said he felt surprisingly comfortable like that. He talked about taking the shoes home to practice in, and looking embarrassed when his partner Sarah caught him vacuuming in them.

At the end, an audience member asked him to sing, and he protested and then sang for us. Squee!

And for once, the Creation peeps weren't being photo nazi's, and didn't stop people from taking photos in the autograph line. Today, I don't hate my camera too much, lol.





Tony signing for us.


The giggle!




Trying not to laugh...


...and he failed miserably!


O RLY?


More pics can be found here

ETA - *faceplam* I totally forgot the most important part. Ripper!! ASH said that Joss still wants to do Ripper. He wants to do it as part of the dvd box set that will explore the characters more fully. The first direct-to-dvd movie will be the Spike movie, and Ripper will come sometime after that!!!!! Squee!!

He also referred to Joss as someone we should all be getting down on our knees and worshiping(!) and I was pleased to be wearing my "Joss Whedon is my master now" t-shirt.

Oh and one more thing (see how much I remember AFTER I post, lol). ASH said that when he auditioned for Giles, he had just seen "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and asked Joss if he should approach Giles as Hugh Grant (befuddles) or as Alan Rickman (having his shit together). Joss wanted a combination of the two. I am so loving the idea of Giles as a cross between Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman, LOL!!

Oh, he's adorable! :D What did he sing for you?

I have no idea. One moment he was telling us that he couldn't because he could never remember words and would have to work on it for a month before he could sing, and the next thing I knew, he was singing. He just sang a few lines of whatever it was, but it was great!

A Ripper movie! A Ripper movie!

There is a reason to live after all :) Direct to DVD, eh? I think he learned a lot from the Firefly experience.

Were ASH and Alan Rickman ever to appear together on camera, I would die of Teh Hawt. :)

Thank you for the pics & report!

Ya know, I skimmed that last sentence because I was already clicking on the 'post commnet' link, read it just a bit incorrectly, and took it to a very dirty place. ;)

Can't say I'm feeling the hair, but what a smile ^_^ And I love the Grant-Rickman story; I hadn't heard that before. Thanks for sharing!

Hi...just came across your icon site, and it said to post a comment if one wanted to use the icons. So...I'm going to use the Numfar icon, ok? :) Thanks!

Great pics! you can never get enough Tony. And look at me spamming you with comments, eh? It's just nice to have a bit of time at the PC. He's at Collectormania at the end of April and although I've met him, I'll probably be tempted to see him again. I love the fact that he's very giggly and quite Cockney too, not a bit Giles-ish.
