I can't believe it.....one of my favorite actors! That's put a downer on my day.

I never saw a performance of his that I didn't enjoy.

RIP Alan.

Very very sad.:(

NoviGlitzko · 14-01-2016 03:05PM

Very sad news. He was a very likable man and a terrific actor.

Sheeps · 14-01-2016 03:07PM

Sad start to 2016 with the death of two legends.

YouTookMyName · 14-01-2016 03:08PM

tritium · 14-01-2016 03:12PM

Unfortunately someone counted to 3 for him.

(FFS .. Boards and its bloody errors these days! Trying again)

RIP Mr Rickman

A class act and fantastic actor who helped define a genre in Die Hard and set the standard for villains in the same movie, but also great in a spoof like Galaxy Quest

Genuinely saddened by this news today. My deepest sympathy to his family

He was absolutely fantastic as Dev in Michael Collins movie

That's a shame.

Brilliant in Robin Hood.

To the 2 comely maidens in a fight scene.

He did the voice for the introduction of instruments on Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells II.

Also I always remember his line from "Quigley Down Under"

Some men are born in the wrong century. I think I was born on the wrong continent. Oh, by the way, you're fired

nacho libre · 14-01-2016 04:13PM

bollocks, bollocks anyway. now that's three decent human beings gone, that i admired within in the last month.
with his wonderfully mellifluous voice he could be reading from a phone book and it would still sound interesting. you know the measure of an actor when by virtue of their presence they elevate a crappy film to something better.

Wibbs · 14-01-2016 04:54PM

Bugger.

MRnotlob606 · 14-01-2016 04:55PM

His Grandmother was from Mount Sion Avenue in Waterford City.

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.

He had an Irish connection. His Grandmother was from Waterford. His Grandad was in the British Army based here. They married in Waterford in 1909.

Lollipops23 · 14-01-2016 05:24PM

So gutted- the first film I remember seeing in the cinema is Robin Hood aged 4.

Have since them become massive fan, through Harry Potter, Michael Collins, Love Actually etc.

Such a fine actor, and by all accounts a very nice person.

Sleepy · 14-01-2016 05:29PM

Another loss to the entertainment industy. If the greats keep dropping at this rate in 2016 I'm not looking forward to 2017's film and music output!

Rothko · 14-01-2016 06:40PM

FFS cancer takes away yet another greatly talented person. Hans Gruber will always be on the great movie villains. RIP

DanielODonnell · 14-01-2016 06:54PM

I knew him best as deValera in Michael Collins, I suppose the user Kev and his comrades will take offence to that too, anyone who posts a comment other than "RIP" is somehow disrespectful in their eyes.

IEG · 14-01-2016 06:57PM

- after all this time?
- always

RIP Alan Rickman

dublinman1990 · 14-01-2016 07:39PM

Read about his passing from the Guardian website at lunchtime today. Really horrific news.

I know him best from his roles as Snape in Harry Potter, DeValera in Michael Collins & Harry in Love Actually.

RIP Alan. You're were a supremely good actor. You will be greatly missed.

Great performance alright, but a pretty crap portrayal of Dev. Even Rickman thought so

He wasn't a big fan of how that movie was made at all

Ave Sodalis · 14-01-2016 07:46PM

Daniel Radcliffe's words on the legend are really moving and heartfelt (can't link as on phone) but he says how caring and wonderful a person he was. It really makes you regret not knowing him personally.

Alan Rickman RIP
