Alan Rickman RIP
From
CNN, ((Alan Rickman,
the British actor with the unforgettable voice who played the
brooding Professor Severus Snape in the "Harry Potter"
films as well as "Die Hard" villain Hans Gruber, died
Thursday after a short battle with cancer, according to his
representatives at Independent Talent Group. ))
Damn, these things really do happen in three. It also comes as a
total shock that he had cancer. He was the character actor with a of
class and one of the best bad guys in one of my favorite 80s movies.
He brought class to Dogma and really seem to handle humor very well.
Plus, he brought his A-game to it. Rickman also kicked total ass in
one of my favorites Die Hard. His interactions with Bruce Willis is
the reason to rewatch Die Hard again. I love his last shot of him
dropping down to his, death and it is priceless.
Most people will remember him as Snape in the Harry Potter series.
They clearly cast him to have people believe he was a bad guy, but he
turned out to be looking out for Harry Potter.
Oh, and let's not forget his hammy
yet entertaining role in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. He as the
best thing about that movie, despite it not holding up that well.
And, his take on Nimoy in Galaxy
Quest is really worth noting too. I love the contempt his
character has for his Spock-like role.
