Its not a great month so far for the loss of celebrities, but its with deep regret that I hear of the passing of the charismatic Alan Rickman, possibly best known today as Snape from the ridiculously popular Harry Potter franchise. But apart from his brilliant depiction of a terrorist in Die Hard, a philandering husband in Love Actually and the effortlessly comic Sheriffin Costner's Robin Hood, one of my favourite parts was his role in the brilliant Star Trek send up, Galaxy Quest. Its a great loss to the industry, as he was an immensley versatile actor and an intelligent and witty performer.

ReplyDeleteSad indeed. I loved Alan's portrayal of the gang leader in Die Hard. Smooth and menacing. One of the best of his generation from the UK.
