Alan Rickman has passed away
So sad to hear that Alan Rickman, actor, director and playwright, has passed away at age 69 http://www.theguardian.com/film/2016...tre-dies-at-69
And this on the heels of David Bowie at the same age. A bad week. :*( |

Sad, sad news.
As a sign of respect, I'm not going to make the obvious pun... |

So sorry to hear this. He had one of the greatest voices I've ever heard. Will truly be missed. A wonderful actor.

I've loved his acting since I first saw it. He will indeed be missed.

Will have to watch Galaxy Quest and/or Die Hard this weekend in tribute.
Alan Rickman was one of those actors where you'd hear about a movie and think "I have no interest in this sort of thing...oh, Alan Rickman's in it! OK, I'll give it a shot." |

I loved the way he played Hans Gruber, a smart and extremely intelligent criminal. And to think he almost turned down the roll that made him famous in the US.

I will always think of him as the Sheriff of Nottingham Forest. It's too bad that you had to watch the rest of Costner's Robin Hood movie just to see his gems in it.

I agree with ApK - he made anything worth watching. My personal favorite was his portrayal of Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility. His acting was so heartfelt, it should have put to rest the notion that the romantic hero must always be a pretty boy, both as a character in the story or as a Hollywood given. Such a talent, and that voice... Gone too soon.
