Alan Rickman, the British film and theater actor, has died in London at the age of 69, according to U.K. media reports Thursday.
His death was confirmed by his family, the Guardian paper said. Rickman had been suffering from cancer.
Rickman is known for a number of roles, including that of Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films. He also starred as Hans Gruber, the villain in the Bruce Willis vehicle “Die Hard,” and as the Sheriff of Nottingham in 1991’s “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.”
What sad news to wake up to. Celebrity deaths don't often hit me hard very but this one absolutely does. Hans is probably my favorite movie character of all time and make no mistake, this is Hans Gruber we're talking about. We aren't mourning fucking Severus Snape. I don't even know who that is. I watched like two of those movies and couldn't pay attention because I couldn't wrap my brain around why Hans was in a dirty robe and not a John Phillps suit. If you're throwing up RIP SNAPE posts today that's pretty much all I need to know about you as a person. GTFO. Hans Gruber should be unanimously inducted into the movie villain hall of fame and Snape shouldn't even be on the fucking ballot.
