I have a signed picture of him as Snape hanging on my wall. Whenever I look at it now I will feel sad.

Thank you SophieRose for reminding me of this wonderful film.

RIP Alan Rickman. I loved his work. So far this year it has been a terrible cull

Ohhh... my heart is hurt...
I didn't even know he was ill.

Loved him in "Sense and Sensibility", "Galaxy Quest", and so many other of his films.
We have lost a wonderful talent and the loveliest voice I've ever heard -- I could listen to him for hours !!!!
Alan was a true actor who elevated the genre ; I'd watch a movie just for the fact he was in it.

May he rest forever in gentle peace .
My condolences to all who loved him .

I can't even think straight right now to write what his work meant to me.

RIP Alan Rickman.

Oh no! Just read this. First David Bowie, now him. What is it with 69-year-old Brits who are performers dying of cancer??? R.I.P. Alan. Loved him as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Kevin Costner's version of Robin Hood, in Galaxy Quest, and as Snape in Harry Potter.:rose::rose::rose:

"You. My room. Ten-thirty tonight. You. Ten-forty-five. And bring a friend."

He is the only good thing about that movie.

This was the first movie with him I saw and I instantly fell in love. Outstanding talent!

RIP Alan!

Even though rape is awful, I loved him in that scene in Robin Hood, "Do You Mind??".
