Talk about a hell of an aftershock, first David Bowie now Alan Rickman.

RIP Alan

I thought he was great in Quigley down under and Robin Hood with Kevin Costner . He always played great parts in his movies.

Rest in peace .

Just stumbled over the bad news.
Man, this sucks. No need to mention that 69 is too young these days.
Always enjoyed his work, so versatile!

:-?

Yeah both at 69...that lies just ahead! My favorite movie of his was Bottle Shock about the 1976 Nape Valley blind taste test victory over French Wine makers; He played the lead role: Steve Spurrier, the Wine merchant who discovers Napa and enters the CA wines in the contest.

Alan Rickman was one of those actors who seemed to be better than the films in which he appeared. Where other actors would chew the scenery, he was a dry, almost quiet, presence and, because of that, he was often one of the most remembered characters of any film he graced. There was a film he appeared in with Kevin Kline, "The January Man", and he stood out as Kline's character's partner in a murder investigation lending dry wit to what would otherwise have been an average potboiler movie. There weren't many like him and there are precious few of his quality coming up the ranks. He will be missed...

RIP, Alan Rickman, and do try to be not too menacing to those others in the afterlife...

Indeed. Galaxyquest being a prime example.
