Alan Rickman was a great actor.  Most everybody loved to hate him.  Here's some roles I especially liked him in.

Die Hard as Hans Gruber



The evil rancher in Quigley Down Under



As a wonderfully evil Sheriff of Nottingham in Kevin Costner's Robin Hood movie.



The snooty actor playing the alien in Galaxy Quest.



If you liked Harry Potter, he was Snape.



I enjoyed watching him in these movies, but he rocked as Hans Gruber!  YIPPEE KI YAY!  R.I.P.

    My 21 year old daughter said aside from the Harry Potter movies, she's never seen him.  We're gonna watch Die Hard tonight!

    He was a great actor.  

    I read something interesting today on this scene. 


    He was actually doing the stunt falling 25 feet or so.  They agreed to let go "on 3" but they let go on 1 in order to get a more natural reaction.  

    Happy trails, Hans.  

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Another great one gone. You know, it's really sad that cancer is reeking the kind of havoc that it is on the modern world. A cure for cancer should take precedence over all the other nonsense that waste billions on. It's almost became a plague.

    "The snooty actor playing the alien in Galaxy Quest."

    That sounds terrible!  What I meant to say is the character he PLAYED was a snooty actor who portrayed the alien in Galaxy Quest.  Alan Rickman was one of my all time favorites and I shall miss him at the movies.

    It was the Die Hard roll that got me.  Young age to die.

    I really liked his character portrayals. From Sense and Sensibility to Bottle Shock, everything between, before and after.
    He made the roles he played, great.

    I think he meant to say: "Schieß auf die Fenster!", or "Zerschieß die Fenster!"
