R.I.P. ALAN RICKMAN

ALAN RICKMAN, one of my favorite actors, passed away today. 

I'm finding myself without words at this huge loss. 

Rickman was, in a word, brilliant.

I realize that word is over-and-mis-used, but in this case I think its appropriate and accurate.

Here are some of my favorite roles of his:

METATRON

'Dogma'

BLUE CATERPILLAR (voice)

'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass'

JUDGE TURPIN

'Sweeney Todd'

MARVIN (voice)

'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'

SHERIFF of NOTTINGHAM

'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves'

"And cancel Christmas!!!!"

COLONEL BRANDON

'Sense and Sensibility'

While the above roles were wonderful, Rickman will forever be in my memory for the TRINITY of BRILLIANCE:

ALEXANDER DANE / DR. LAZARUS

'Galaxy Quest'

PROFESSOR SEVERUS SNAPE

'HARRY POTTER'

(8 movies!)

HANS GRUBER

'DIE HARD'
