His portrayal of Rupert Mannion was dramatically different from Giles, allowing audiences to see another side of his range as an actor. Rupert was confident, polished, and often difficult to read, and Head approached the character with a mixture of charm and subtlety. The contrast between his two well-known television roles demonstrated just how versatile he could be.
