10. Who plays Rupert Giles?

Answer: Anthony Stewart Head

He left the show as a main cast member in season six, but came back as a guest star later in the season and in season seven. Andy Hallett did appear in one episode, "Hush", but later starred as Lorne on "Angel" for four seasons. He passed away after the series ended, from an infection that weakened his heart. He was only 33 years old when he died in March of 2009.

11. Giles was found by the Scoobies singing at what coffee house?

Answer: Espresso Pump

Anthony Head was shown singing in a few episodes including "Once More With Feeling" and "Restless."

12. What song was Giles singing when the Scoobies found him the first time in the coffee shop?

Answer: Behind Blue Eyes

Anthony Stewart Head's brother Murry was the talent behind the 80's hit "One Night In Bancock." "Behind Blue Eyes" is by The Who off of their album "Who's Next" -a GREAT album! Spike did catch Giles singing "Freebird" at the end of season four, in "The Yoko Factor".

13. In what episode did we see Giles dressed in a sombrero and poncho?

Answer: Fear Itself

This is during Halloween episode titled "Fear Itself." Buffy was dressed as Little Red Riding Hood, Anya was a bunny and Xander - in a tux - was either James Bond or a headwaiter.

14. In the episode "Tabula Rasa", to whom does Giles think he is engaged to be married?

Answer: Anya

In this episode they also believe that Spike's name is Randy Giles and that he's Giles' son.

15. In which season did Giles use borrowed powers to help save the world?

Answer: 6

He came back to Sunnydale loaded with the good power of the coven. Willow stole that power, which negated much of the negative energies she had consumed. That allowed Xander to reach her in time to talk her, almost literally, off of a ledge. Giles had similar experience with borrowed power at the end of season four, when he, Willow and Xander performed a spell that enjoined them with Buffy.

They made a super Buffy and she was able to defeat Adam.
