Damn!!! Not Severus Snape!

He played that character to the hilt and brought my attention to his other works. Condolences to his family, and friends.

RIP Mr Rickman, you were one of my favourites.

Truly
Madly
Deeply

Hans Gruber: "Uh, no, I'm afraid not. But, you have me at a loss. You know my name but who are you? Just another American who saw too many movies as a child? Another orphan of a bankrupt culture who thinks he's John Wayne? Rambo? Marshal Dillon?"

Alan Rickman , another Great British treasure lost to the other side.
Everybody's favorite bad guy.
Rest in Peace Sir.

Wow the stars sure are falling from the sky lately

Rip Alan

Bummer.
I always thought a huge reason the Harry Potter films were so successful was the kids being surrounded by great actors like rickman.

My sister told me about his death. Her comments via whatsapp were particularly poignant. She said:

"Dude is Metatron for reals now."

Aside from the grammatical errors involved, a perfect sentiment.

RIP

RIP Professor Snape and my favourite Metatron from the brilliant Dogma.

I have always enjoyed this actor because of his perfect performances and understated dignity even when playing a badie.

Seems an awful lot of people departing the world these days, we have sadly lost several good friends recently and nearly all of them to damn cancer.

The spouse and I were just watching Dogma last night and we couldn't stay awake. We stopped it right after the scene with him in that Mexican restaurant. How weird.

Totally sad about this.

I loved him as Marvin in the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy movie.

Lemmy, Bowie, and now Snape- I believe they all fought as hard as they could to see in the new year. Slytherin weeps.

What!!?? So sad. I loved his work. And his voice.

Of all his roles - that was my favorite.
