[Archived] Rip Alan Rickman

[RibbleValleyRover]

More shocking news that Alan Rickman has died aged 69. Brilliant actor and will most likely be remembered for some of his iconic villain roles (Hans Gruber in Die Hard, Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood) For the younger generation he will be remembered as playing Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films.

A really talented actor and a big loss.

Hans Gruber and the Sheriff of Nottingham for me! I love the Die Hard films and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves was a smash when I was a nipper!

Sad indeed.

He was good in Dogma too. As RVR says, he was a really talented actor.

Very versatile, and one of these that wasn't just in anything, tended to be quality over quantity.

I loved his movies. RIP

Unbelievable. First Lemmy, then David Bowie, and now Alan Rickman. And 'Grimmy' is still walking about

Another great bites the dust. RIP.

Bowie didn't bother me much (before my time in all honesty), but this one hurt.

Even if you didn't like his music, how can you not mourn the loss of the Goblin King?

All hail the Metatron,voice of the one true God.

This one hurt!

In two Christmas classics in our yearly rotation.

I'm afraid I couldn't take to that film. Either way I'd no idea it was Bowie!

Back to Rickman: Soppy as it, I quite enjoyed Truly Madly Deeply. Ofc he had his great roles in Potter, Robin Hood, Love actually and DIE HARD!!! also thought he was great as Marvin the paranoid android!
