Virgil Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Didn't know he had cancer. Was 69. Such an icon for his voice, roll as Hans, Snape, and so many more. Just terrible.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35313604 RIP CBF
The Poojer Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 what's in the water over there, we know it's not flouride...but man...
LeGOATski Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Really?! Wow. Shocker. He was great. I loved him in Galaxy Quest as the parody of Spock.
thebandit27 Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 One of my 3 favorite actors; shame to lose him before we could get him on screen with Anthony Hopkins and Gary Oldman to make the perfect cast. Anyone that can play Rasputin, Metatron, and Hans Gruber is an icon. RIP
Virgil Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 They're called Watchers. Guess what they do...
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Hans is one of my favorite villains. RIP
Nanker Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 He was a fantastic actor. He will be missed and his life's work will be enjoyed for decades to come. RIP Alan.
dpberr Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 You can see the generation gap with the writing of the articles on him. Some say he's best known from the Harry Potter movies, others from Die Hard/Robin Hood. If Hollywood wanted to have an honest conversation with itself, they'd admit Die Hard is one of their best of the last 50 years. Can't believe it's a nearly 30 year old movie at this point.

Do they actually mention Robin Hood? There's a movie that pretty much disappeared off of the face of the earth after around 1993 or so.

Yep, that movie still has fans. Arguably, Bryan Adams is probably the movie's biggest fan ever. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/region/3924251-british-actor-alan-rickman-harry-potter-and-robin-hood-dies-69

That's because the world has discovered how truly awful Kevin Costner is in most movies. Shame--Rickman was a brilliant Sheriff, and the rest of the cast was great as well (especially Michael Wincott as the Guy of Gisborne).
Deranged Rhino Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I'm floored by this one. Wonderful actor and an amazingly kind person gone far too soon. RIP, Mr. Rickman. Damn.
Wayne Cubed Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Damn shame, I'll always remember him as Hans Gruber. My dad and I bonded a lot over that film. One of the most severely underrated comedic performances is Mr. Rickman in Galaxy Quest. Just hilarious. RIP Allan Rickman.

stevewin Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Galaxy Quest might be one of the most underrated comedies of the past few decades. I just ran across it on TV a couple nights ago - forgot how good it is (and never noticed Dwight Shrute was one of the aliens ) I taped it thinking I'll put it on the list of classics I'll have my kids watch Edited January 14, 2016 by stevewin

KD in CA Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Great actor. Hysterical in Dogma. I hope they bury him in one of Hans' John Phillips suits. RIP
DC Tom Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Great actor. Hysterical in Dogma. I hope they bury him in one of Hans' John Phillips suits. RIP And get the guy who played Ellis to give the eulogy. His voice as Marvin in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was good, too. Largely forgotten, since the movie sucked SO badly.
