Alan Rickman has died at age 69 due to cancer :(

He was obviously known for many iconic roles but his final role was with Disney, returning as the Caterpillar in Alice Through the Looking Glass set to come out this May.

I don't know too many films he was in that I liked that much (HP films are a trainwreck, didn't care for the S&S adaptation, a lot of the romantic comedies were trash), but he was a great actor and what a shame to lose him.

RIP. I loved him in the Harry Potter series, but I will always remember him for his role in Sense & Sensibility, as Colonel Brandon.

What a shock! That guy was a fantastic actor. He left too early. He will be much missed. May he rest in peace and happiness.

Agreed, but I love Galaxy Quest. He was so good in that movie. :D

Such a great actor, I just love his voice and facial expressions. I loved him in all his roles as a villain. It will be a bit bittersweet and strange to hear his voice in the upcoming Alice movie.
