I was just thinking about Die Hard the other day. He was brilliant in all his roles.

Just watched Die Hard again couple of weeks ago, and every single time I watch it I love Rickman's excellent interpretation.

Losing Bowie, now Rickman, 2016 starts with a heavy heart...

And Lemmy!
I think it would have been hard for that movie (and Bruce Willis' movie career for that matter) to have been as successful if anyone else had tried to pull off that combination of intelligence, charm and malevolence.

His expression of surprise was real in Die Hard as the stunt crew dropped him on the count of one instead of three!
