Ra Ra Rasputin 99 Posted January 14, 2016 Alan Rickman. That's a bit of a surprise. All I'm reading is that it's an internet hoax. Can't find any legit source confirming death at all. Hopefully it will stay that way. ETA: Guardian obit. Still hope it's a hoax though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 11,039 Posted January 14, 2016 God damnit! Edit: I should point out, he wasn't my very favorite actor, but then again, god damnit! Edit 2: Also 69! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mad Hatter 1,093 Posted January 14, 2016 Heard it on redfm. I watched all the Harry Potter movies and he was probably on of the best actors in that series. He was also good in die hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,145 Posted January 14, 2016 Totally freaking shocked by this news! BBC news came on and it was the top story. I'll pop it in the HP thread too if you don't mind, if it's not done already. Not even a fortnight old and 2016 steals the lives of some of our greatest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildstorm 297 Posted January 14, 2016 Guardian obit I'm so heartbroken by this. I know Alan Rickman was a lot more to everyone else here, but for me he is the man who brought Snape to life in the Harry Potter movies (a franchise I grew up with; and one that I literally spent half of my life enjoying). R.I.P. you beautiful man </3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

En Passant 3,748 Posted January 14, 2016 I see, we'll have a brand new Alan Rickman thread because he deserves one (agreed) and it's such a surprise, so he didn't have one before (agreed). Then fill it with blather about hobnobs (disagree, and puhlease). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
