\u201cWe know how dearly he will be missed by friends, colleagues, and fans of the shows he was in \u2014 he loved his job very much, and he always considered himself incredibly lucky, to have been able to work alongside such exceptionally talented people, in such wonderful productions, across a career that spanned several decades. Our grief is far greater than the hole he has left behind, but we know his legacy will live on, in the shows he was a part of, and in the audiences that love them. How lucky we are to know we are able to watch him doing what he loved, even when he is no longer with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Concluding the statement, the two asked that their \u201cprivacy is respected at this difficult time.\u201d As you likely know, Anthony is best known for playing Rupert Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em>.
