RIP Alan Rickman

[jillian]

He was always great to watch. What a shame.

Alan Rickman, one of the best-loved and most warmly admired British actors of the past 30 years, has died in London aged 69. His death was confirmed on Thursday by his family. Rickman had been suffering from cancer.
A star whose arch features and languid diction were recognisable across the generations, Rickman found a fresh legion of fans with his role as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films. But the actor had been a big-screen staple since first shooting to global acclaim in 1988, when he starred as Hans Gruber, Bruce Willis’s sardonic, dastardly adversary in Die Hard – a part he was offered two days after arriving in Los Angeles, aged 41.

Closet Land. Pretty intense movie. It was only TWO PEOPLE the entire movie. Alan Rickman and Madeline Stowe.

Cancer has now taken Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister, David Bowie, and now Alan Rickman in less than a month.

 

[Claudette]

He was always good in whatever movie he was in.

RIP

I never saw it either.

But if you haven't seen it and want to see a really special film, try to catching Something the Lord Made which was a TV movie he did with Mos Def. Unbelievable acting. On the other hand, he was even brilliant in Robin Hood.

He was great in Sense & Sensibility. A fine actor.

an 80's villain like Gary Oldman was the 90's villain

an 80's villain like Gary Oldman was the 90's villian

he was. but he was also pretty awesome in the harry potter series where you didn't know he wasn't a villain until the plot worked itself out.

very sad.

Rest In Peace, Hans Gruber.
