ALAN RICKMAN

Alan Rickman trained with the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art before becoming part of the Royal Shakespeare Company where he performed in both classical and modern theatre productions. His film career is just as prolific, choosing diverse roles for films like Die Hard, Robinhood: Prince of Thieves, Sense and Sensibility, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and of course, in the Harry Potter films.

To his credit, his performance led to him becoming a major fan favorite, despite playing one of the most disliked characters in the books, Professor Severus Snape. With his excellent performance as a villain, it is no surprise that Alan made the list of Greatest Villains twice. Additionally, he was named one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in Film History and Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time and Empire magazine’s Greatest Living Movie Stars. Alan passed away in 2015 when he was 69 years old.
