ROP, one great bad guy.
Loved that P7-M13 pistol he had in Die Hard

[miss marmelstein]

He also had a great stage career. I first saw him in the early 80s at Stratford in small Shakespearean roles. I knew he was going to be a star. I recommend The Barchester Chronicles for his star-making tv performance as the nasty but hilarious Mr. Slope (nee Slop). It’s available on Amazon.

My wife’s favorite actor. After her favorite musician Bowie died. Aged 69 too.

Think I’ll send an email this time telling here.

I qued up CBGB’s on netflix the other night and when Hilly Kristal first shows up on screen I said to myself: “Hans Boobie I’m your WHite Knight!

RIP Alan.

Great “bad guy”. RIP.

Personally, I liked him as the voice of "Marvin the Robot" in Hitchhiker's Guide.

Not much of a movie, but that bit was well-cast. In fact, I heard him voicing Marvin as I was reading the book (well before the movie came out....).

Rather like Sean Connery as Ramius in "Hunt for Red October". Watched it and said, "Yep, that's how I pictured the book."

[Opinionated Blowhard]

One of my favorite actors. I loved him in Galaxy Quest, Blow Dry, Something the Lord Made, CBGB and Snow Cake. Especially his characters that exhibited a resigned or world-weary cynicism or acceptance of life as it imperfectly is. May he rest in peace and may his loved ones have some serenity in this trying time for them.

[IronJack]

Played one heckuva villain, a talent few actors have. And few could pull off the effete snob as well as he.

[FourPeas]

Very sad news. May he rest in peace.

[oldplayer]

Don’t forget his role as a key Angel in Dogma.

Rickman and Bowie in the same week? 2016 can officially suck it.

Some great Rickman impersonation starting about 20 seconds in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc3OyvbJkj4

[JEDI4S]

Best villain ever in Die Hard...

...”and members of the Asian Dawn”...( I read about them in Time Magazine).

RIP Hans....they don't look for you if they think your dead.

[SkyDancer]

Great in “Quigley Down Under”

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

One of his earliest roles;

Good catch! (And I’m very happy to hear that!)

Damn internet hoaxers.

[beaversmom]

Wow, same age as David Bowie! And cancer to boot.

He brings us Christmas cheer as he drops.
