Alan Rickman...he plays such great, deranged movie villains, in Robin Hood, and Die Hard. Maybe his secret is, he isn't acting.

Yeah, Rickman is an amazing actor. Sounds like he shouldn't give up his day job!

You forgot Dr. Lazarus in Galaxy Quest. My favorite role.

Oh, well, drat!!! Another actor taking himself off my enjoyable list. And I so much liked Alan Rickman, not only for the villains but for his role in Sense and Sensibility!

Darn, darn, darn!!

Alan Rickman is married to a Labor activist, hence I would assume his dopey radicalism.

He's given one or two good performances (especially in "The Barchester Chronicles" all the way back around 1980) but he's been sliding on his reputation ever since. He's got all sorts of vocal problems (I sat through nearly 4 hours of his horrendous "Anthony & Cleo" several years ago) where he drove me crazy with his lackluster, hoarse performance. He would do well to stop attempting playwriting and take a few acting lessons.

You forgot when he was upstaged by a rifle in "Quigley down under."

"I said I never had much use for them, I never said I didn't know HOW to use one."

Great Tom Seleck line.

Maybe they drove a bulldozer full of money to his house.
