Actor Alan Rickman dies from cancer at age 69

The British actor started out on Broadway in 1987. Alan Rickman then appeared playing the role of Hans Gruber in Die Hard in 1988. He set the standard for urban villains for decades to come. Although he is most famous for villains, he could play anything. From a cello playing ghost to a rough talking Military Colonel. Rickman blessed the screen with his comedic abilities in movies like Dogma (1999) and a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005). He even mastered singing in the musical The Demon barber of Fleet Street (2007). However, Rickman’s most prominent role with younger audiences was when he took on the role of Severus Snape in JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone all the way through The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 films.


Alan Rickman sat the stone for British actors in American film and television.Alan Rickman’s legacy will forever live on through the films he has wonderfully pacted in. There was nothing this man couldn't do, and his talent and love for his job will forever be seen on the big screen.
