RIP Alan Rickman, AKA Hans Gruber, Severus Snape (variety.com)

Posted by timothy on from the who-gets-all-those-bearer-bonds? dept.

TigerPlish writes to note Variety's report on the death of actor Alan Rickman, who died after a short bout with cancer, and was surrounded by friends and family when he went. Rickman may be most familiar to you as Hans Gruber in Die Hard (especially in his final scene), or as Harry Potter's Snape, but his film career was long, crossing genre lines and extending into five decades.

    Gotta love Rickman as the alcoholic Metatron in Dogma. Hopefully where he is now he's actually allowed to swallow the tequila.

    Hans Gruber is the SECOND best movie villain. Khan says hello from the number one spot.
