So sorry to hear that. Such a great actor, and he made his villainous characters actually interesting and fun.

Actor Alan Rickman, Snape in Harry Potter films, dies at 69 - CNN.com

On Edit: This is a more thorough recap of his life http://www.theguardian.com/film/2016...tre-dies-at-69

This has been a horrible few days. I can't help but wonder who else we'll lose this year.

Sad news indeed. Alan Rickman, in Die Hard, ensured forever after nasty villain's had to have an English accent!!

I guess he will be best remembered for the Harry Potter films......... he was another of those great theatre actors, who went into films. If you can do Shakespeare well, movies are easy..........

I just now saw it, so hard to believe, loved him so much, especially his role in Sense and Sensibility.
He came across as such a gallant, charming and confident man.

So sad...

He could also do comedy. His performance in Galaxyquest was an absolute hoot!

What a shame! He was a wonderful actor, with a marvelous speaking voice. I first really noticed him in the movie Die Hard.

First saw him in Truly Madly Deeply.

David Bowie and now Alan Rickman. A sad week for British talent.

It's been a terrible week.

I first saw him as Hans Gruber in Die Hard and became an immediate fan. I loved his performance in Truly, Madly, Deeply - and own the DVD. Another fun film of his is Blow Dry, and I just re-watched Love, Actually, a few times over the holidays.

But, he will always be Professor Snape to me.
