Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Alan Rickman. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Alan Rickman is a great actor. He burst onto the scene as one of the all time great villains, Hans Gruber, in Die Hard. He would be well remembered just for that, but his career since then has been steady and successful.
Nowadays his role as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series is probably his best known. But he also made a wonderfully evil Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood and was fantastic in Galaxy Quest.
To me, though, he'll always be Hans Gruber. Great Actor!
Alan Rickman is Snape in the Harry Potter series and the clever Villan in Die Hard. He is an incredibly amazing actor. There are just so many words to describe him. He just plays the bad guy so well.
I think he's the perfect actor. He's simply brilliant. He's one of brittains greatest actor's, and have been in most of the big screen movies lately without most people knowing it's him! My friend's didn't know about him untill Itold them about him and when we were watching a Harry Potter movie once I said: "There he is! That's Alan Rickman," And everyone goes: Ahhhh! Annoying is it not. And especially when I just told them about him, and they have seen a movie with him. But he is a little unrecogniseable with the wig and the black robes. I love him as an actor and my goal is too have all his flms on dvd in my dvd stash. I love him in movies like Sense and Sensibillity, Galaxy Quest, Love Actually, The Harry Potter movies etc. I strongly recommand you see him in his newest film: SnowCake.
Alan Rickman has played in a series of movies he most notible ones are Harry Potter where he play Severus Snape the potions master and head of Slytherin. Snape is protrayed differenly in the movies though not as cruel in the movies as the books Alan's take on him is great, he has that slow yet serious voice and can prove to be comecial at times, He also played in Galaxy Quest with Tim Allen and played the villian in Robin Hood Prince of Theives, he can play a number of roles but his facial features and low voice make him easly reconizable in any role.
I love, love, love Alan Rickman. He is, in my opinion, one of the greatest actors around. I especially love him when he plays the villain, he really captures the audience (or at least me). His voice, wow, it is one of the sexiest voices ever, he could make furniture instructions sound captivating.
