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.

    I thought I was on Slashdot, but I appear to have stumbled into a celebrity news site.
    It may be newsworthy, but it's covered everywhere else.

      Yeah, what does the death of a notable actor from Harry Potter have anything to do with News for Nerds?

      Harry potter is a children's book. You tell me.
