    Don't believe it....
    What a loss (another one)

    I remember being impressed my him during this BBC radio interview for a movie he directed and acted in. Definitely worth a listen...

    "The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end." - Alan Rickman.

    Ended a bit soon though...

    More sad news and another genuinely talented performer passes away.

    He had an unbelievable ability to play bad guys. As much as I loved him playing Dev in Micheal Collins, his Hans Gruber in Die Hard was flawless. RIP

    First Bowie, now Rickman. 2016 sucks balls already :\


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,356 ✭✭✭Into The Blue


    Thought he was early 50s!! Fück this shït.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,166 ✭✭✭Beefy78


    Jesus, I'm crushed by this, even worse than Bowie. Man.

    Not afraid to laugh at himself, great film.

    Genuinely saddened by this and my thoughts go out to his wife and family who must be devastated by the loss. His Sheriff will forever be the only Sheriff of Nottingham there could ever be.

    Saw him on telly a few months ago. Seemed a genuinely nice person. Incidentally, he seemed to have an affinity with Irish theater and actors working with them regularly.

    What terrible news



    :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 582 ✭✭✭Pomplamousse


    So sad, such a great actor. I loved his voice!
    Stupid bloody cancer:( :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Bastard cancer.

    Rickman was just endlessly watchable in anything him and that voice popped up in. Played one of the best villains as Hans Gruber.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,555 ✭✭✭Ave Sodalis


    Ah well this has just put a right dampener on things :( jaysus... as a massive (to the point it's probably not healthy) fan of Harry Potter, he was the perfect Snape, a great actor and seemed like a very nice person. RIP!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,452 ✭✭✭✭The_Valeyard


    Not Hans Gruber / Prof Snape / De Valera!!!!


    Great actor!!!

    RIP

    Death has been a tad busy since the start of the year!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,433 ✭✭✭wandatowell


    Loved him in Die Hard and Dogma.

    Great actor. Had a great big tint of evil about him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭valoren


    He won't be joining us...for the rest of his life :(


    RIP Alan.

    I never really get upset when I hear famous people have died but I'm actually gutted about this! RIP, thank you for bringing so many amazing characters to life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭iDave


    He went on the game for Ireland

    RIP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,436 ✭✭✭c_man

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,434 ✭✭✭Robsweezie

    He was made for that role in harry potter. Legend


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,195 ✭✭✭eviltimeban


    That's three now... Lemmy, Bowie, and Rickman. No more please.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,296 ✭✭✭✭Jawgap


    that's the b0IIix who shot Mick Collins!!!

    On a more serious note, bit of a downer hearing about this - great actor, even when he was in some utter cheese!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,713 ✭✭✭keano_afc


    Death must have got a new sickle for Christmas.

    He'll be sadly missed. A great actor, always a very strong on screen presence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,537 ✭✭✭KKkitty


    One of the best bad guy actors out there. He made you root more for the good guy in his movies. He will be sadly missed :(
