Alan Rickman is spectacular at playing villains, but he’s a more versatile actor than that. If you haven’t seen it, look for a movie called “Truly Madly Deeply,” from 1991 — he plays a ghost who comes back to comfort his girlfriend and help her move on.
I hope that after Harry Potter, Rickman can land some non-villain roles just for a change of pace. As good as he is at it, it does a soul good to stretch out once in a while.

I've seen that movie listed, but never watched it. I'll have to catch it soon. Also, Rickman recently appeared in an HBO film titled "Something the Lord Made" and did a truly superb job in a very different, non-villain role.
