Yesterday

I can remember--before Buffy--that he was in commercials here in the US. (I looked it up and it was for Taster's Choice coffee in the late 80s) What stuck with me is that American women went berserk for this British guy in the commercials. I think it even spawned more commercials for him here. Such a weird thing to remember, but any time I'd see him in something for years after that, it was 'oh that's the coffee guy'.

RIP Anthony.
