Anthony Head interview article on Free Agents by EW.com
Entertainment Weekly interviewed Anthony about his "sex-obsessed" character in NBC's Free Agents. He also talked about sharing the studio lot with Mad Men and getting recognized in LA supermarkets for Merlin. Here's part of the interview:
What’s it like on set?
We shoot it at the L.A. Center. It’s an old oil refinery or something bizarre. We share the lot with Mad Men, which is extraordinary. You’re walking amongst all these beautiful 1950s cars, and people dressed up in very sharp suits and fantastic sunglasses. And the women are all in hats. And then there’s me. Let’s just say they’ve used a very bright palette for my clothes. So I’m wandering through in more-than-pastel shades.
Which one of your characters do you get recognized for the most at home?
In Britain, my face is attached to Buffy, Little Britain, Merlin…I did one episode of Doctor Who, which seemed to tickle a few people. My favorite was a little girl - she was about six - who came up to me in the street in Bath. She stopped absolutely still in front of me and stared up at me with huge, wide, wide eyes and said “Are you real?”
What about in L.A.?
Obviously it’s Buffy. The show is still current. It’s still bringing people in. But I have to say, [people recognizing me for Merlin] have piped up in supermarkets.
