    That's actually the first movie I think of when I hear his name, even ahead of Die Hard.

    He's talked about as a guy who played the villain.

    I liked his work, especially this:

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386792/

    He and Bowie within days of one another at 69 and of cancer.

    Sucks.

    WTF..... Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    He was one of my favorite actors. What's with all these people dying at 69 years old? David Bowie and now Rickman?

    Man.... you can almost guarantee that if you aren't taken out by something like a car wreck or a falling meteor, cancer will eventually get you.

    Kevin Costner's half-hearted English accent makes RHPOT.


    I watched the movie Blow Dry on television because Rickman was in it. Was not disappointed.
