Alan Rickman, 1946-2016

Alan Rickman (Wikipedia)

I was sad to hear of Alan Rickman's passing.

I always admired the effort and interpretation he put into each of his roles. I cannot yet imagine a future re-make of the Harry Potter series, but surely his is the definitive Snape. He rescued an insipid version of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves with his excellent Sheriff of Nottingham. And one of my favourite movies and characters of his was as Colonel Brandon in Sense & Sensibility.

He was always precisely articulate, yet mellifluous, and he shall be missed.
