Well said, Zydar.
...going along with Dragon Attack's Queen thread has been like taking a free class in Queen knowledge. Where else are you gonna find info like that?!

What the hell? RIP Alan.

^ That.

Shoot the glass.

That's the first quote that came to mind.


Wow... another shocker. 

Robin Hood, Die Hard, Dogma, Rasputin, and of course Harry Potter. Not to mention, the voice of Absolem.  I'm sure there are plenty of others I forgot.
Don't forget Marvin; strangely a rather similar character to Metatron.

I've actually watched Die Hard and THGttG in the last two weeks. One great move and one piece of shit, but both great roles for him.

I never saw Marvin but now I'm curious.

He was amazing in Galaxy Quest.


" By Grabthar's Hammer....."  ::)

He was also very funny as the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland.
I can't stop the world from turning around, or the pull of the moon on the tide, but I don't believe that we're in this alone, I believe we're along for the ride...

Great actor and he also had an amazing voice.

I may be partial to those with low voices being a bass myself but damn Alan Rickman had a wonderful deep voice, no wonder he was a great fit for the Voice of God in Dogma. Only Christopher Lee was better in that sense. Charles Dance remains now in that field of low deep imposing voices.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Yes he did have an amazing voice, I loved him in Dogma, Die Hard and as Snape. A great loss. Yes a very shitty 2016 so far!

I have to admit, I had no idea who this was when I saw the story that he had died.  I don't think I've seen a single film he was in (no, I never saw Die Hard).

Never seen Die Hard either. I would suggest starting out with Dogma, since the whole movie is absolutely funny and clever and he costars with a lot of great actors. Only Tarantino movies have a better quotable ratio than Dogma, it's golden from beginning to the end.

And is Kevin Smith's one and only half-decent movie.

If it makes you guys feel any better, I liked The Pick of Destiny.
