Members DaytimeFan Posted January 15, 2016 Members Share Posted January 15, 2016 I just loved him. He was a star and an exceptional talent. Remembered by his close friend, Ruby Wax: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03fhw0b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 15, 2016 Members Share Posted January 15, 2016 That was very nice. I never knew they were close friends. I've never actually seen the Harry Potter movies, so, while I understand why people loved him in those, I was glad to hear her talk about him outside of that.

Members I Am A Swede Posted January 15, 2016 Members Share Posted January 15, 2016 I guess he was most famous for his villainous roles, but I think he also gave a wonderful performance as Colonel Brandon in "Sense and Sensibility" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cct Posted January 16, 2016 Members Share Posted January 16, 2016 He will be missed...truly, madly, deeply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted January 16, 2016 Members Share Posted January 16, 2016 That clip was brought to my attention yesterday on another site. This will sound sacrilegious, but I've never seen an Alan Rickman film. Not Die Hard, or Dogma, or Robin Hood, and especially not any of the Harry Potter films. However, watching that clip yesterday really made me want to watch Truly, Madly, Deeply. It looks like something I would be very much enjoy.

Members YRBB Posted January 16, 2016 Members Share Posted January 16, 2016 You never fail to stun me! It's his most important work. If you truly like him as much as you say, you are doing a great disservice to yourself not having seen him as Snape! I'm so sorry for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 18, 2016 Members Share Posted January 18, 2016 They were friends for 40 years from when they were students at the Royal Shakespeare Company - Alan directed all of Ruby's one woman shows, Ruby edited the Robin Hood script in a Pizza Express with Alan.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 18, 2016 Members Share Posted January 18, 2016 This really has hit me hard this week. Harry Potter was an essential part of my youth and reminds me so much of better, simpler times. And he was a big part of that. What a phenomenal talent he was, gone way, way too soon.

Members Cat Posted January 18, 2016 Members Share Posted January 18, 2016 Like DRW, I missed out on the Harry Potter films, but I remember him from Die Hard, Galaxy Quest and Sense and Sensibility. One of my all time favorite actors, and I had such a huge crush on him. I think it was his voice and sense of humor. ' "And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer." Benefits of a classical education.'
