Awesome collection of Alan Rickman trivia. He's an actor, currently best known for playing Professor Snape in Harry Potter, the bad guy in "Die Hard", and the Voice of God in "Dogma", along with dozens of other roles. At the moment, I'm a certifiable "Rickmaniac" (as his fans are known), trying to work my way through every one of his movies that I can get my hands on. Alan Rickman Fan Page |
