RIP Alan Rickman

#1 Post by Capetonian » Thu Jan 14, 2016 12:46 pm

One of my favourite actors. Starred in many well known films, including the Harry Potter films, Love Actually, and many others.
Left us earlier today, shorty before his 70th birthday.
Sad.

I'm sure Mr Rickman is now enjoying a beach in heaven somewhere earning 20%!

My favourite supercilious English evil barsteward. Great as the Sherriff of Nottingham. Died too young.

Yes he was well typecast in Robin Hood and Die Hard.

Even in real ife he looked like a truly evil bastard, which obviously he took advantage of in those two roles.

Quite liked him.

Oh that's so sad - what a miserable week this is. Losing too many admired and inspirational figures.

Sad. They'll never be a better Sherriff of Nottingham. Utterly evil.

Another good one gone.

I did like him as Hans Gruber in Die Hard.
