I have a signed picture of him as Snape hanging on my wall. Whenever I look at it now I will feel sad.

British actor Alan Rickman has died, his agent confirmed to NBC News. He was 69.

He trained at Britain's prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and went on to frequently play the bad guy on stage and screen...

Ohhh... my heart is hurt...
I didn't even know he was ill. :(

Loved him in "Sense and Sensibility", "Galaxy Quest", and so many other of his films.
We have lost a wonderful talent and the loveliest voice I've ever heard -- I could listen to him for hours !!!!
Alan was a true actor who elevated the genre ; I'd watch a movie just for the fact he was in it.

May he rest forever in gentle peace .
My condolences to all who loved him .
 
What a sad week this is turning out to be.:tears:

I can't even think straight right now to write what his work meant to me.

RIP Alan Rickman.

"You. My room. Ten-thirty tonight. You. Ten-forty-five. And bring a friend."

He is the only good thing about that movie.

Even though rape is awful, I loved him in that scene in Robin Hood, "Do You Mind??".
