"Alan Rickman, one of the best-loved and most warmly admired British actors of the past 30 years, has died in London aged 69. His death was confirmed on Thursday by his family who said that he died “surrounded by family and friends”. Rickman had been suffering from cancer.
A star whose arch features and languid diction were recognisable across the generations, Rickman found a fresh legion of fans with his role as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films. But the actor had been a big-screen staple since first shooting to global acclaim in 1988, when he starred as Hans Gruber, Bruce Willis’s sardonic, dastardly adversary in Die Hard – a part he was offered two days after arriving in Los Angeles, aged 41.
Gruber was the first of three memorable baddies played by Rickman: he was an outrageous sheriff of Nottingham in 1991’s Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, as well as a terrifying Rasputin in an acclaimed 1995 HBO film."
F**K off already, 2016. Seriously.

Just found out the news, and it's very surprising. Very sad to hear...loved his portrayal as Snape in the Harry Potter series. Can't believe the names were are losing in 2016 and it's only freaking January.
RIP Alan Rickman

If anyone needs me, I'll be in the corner crying while rewatching the Harry Potter movies. Loved harry potter growing up, and he was a pretty big part of that.

Die Hard & Galaxy Quest are two of my favorite movies. Something about seeing Alan Rickman on screen made me smile.

I had no idea he was ill. If this is how 2016 is starting out, chances are it's going to suck.
I hope Clint Eastwood is taking his vitamins.

If you're a 69 year old British man with Cancer, this was not your week.
