Sailor Jerry Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Well that sucks! He was truly a great actor. I think my favorite role of his was in Robin Hood. [the Sheriff has said he'll cut out Robin Hood's heart with a spoon] Guy of Gisborne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe? Sheriff of Nottingham: Because it's DULL, you twit. It'll hurt more. Classic.....purely classic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeeeet Ronny D Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Absolutely loved him in Dogma I'd only seen him in harry potter previously so that was a surprise! We all must question ourselves about how we are raising our children, when they only know Alan Rickman thru the Harry Potter films and not from the greatest Christmas movie ever made.

Godfrey Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Very sad news. Props to the people who've seen Dogma. I remember him best as Hans Gruber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Lannister Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hans survived the fall off the Nakatomi building? Loved Alan Rickman, one of my fav actors. Other than the masterpiece Die Hard that he is terrific in, one of my favs is the little film Quigley Down Under. First German than Aussie, man is from everywhere.

Doktor Avalanche Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 I loved him in Robin Hood opposite Kevin Costner, though I have to say my favorite role of his was the infamous Elliot Marston in Quigley Down Under.

Kenneth Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He was a great actor, and he had such an amazing voice. R.I.P. Alan Rickman. Your fans will adore you. Always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicboyd25 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 This really made me sad. He was one of my favorite actors and he was a good guy as far as I know. Sad to hear it all ended by cancer and not old age. Guess that's life though, throws you curveballs when you don't want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
