Alan Rickman RIP

Posted by: MDS on 14 January 2016

Very sorry to learn of Alan Rickman's passing today. He was an actor of real talent with a luxurious voice.  Although I suspect he might wish to be remembered for more challenging roles, I will always remember and treasure his role as a terrific villain in Die Hard. And I must confess to enjoying his character in Galaxy Quest, too.

Saw him as Valmont in Les Liaisons in the 80s at RSC iirc - electric stage presence, so much more than that Harry Potter actor

A sad loss of a talented actor who brought characters to life and lines memorable..

Every Christmas when buying a present in a department store I can't help remember the present wrapping scene in Love Actually with Roan Atkinson ... Classic. ... RIP

Yes, a great shame.

I remember as a teenager being captivated by The Barchester Chronicles, and the great bete noire Mr Slope, played by the inimitable AR. So many good films with a wide range of characters, including The Metatron in Dogma! Always brings a smile to my face.
