Alan Rickman


Born in Hammersmith London Feb. 21 1946, Alan Rickman is a talented actor and artist despite suffering a tragedy at age eight when his father passed away. Being a graphic artist has won him many awards. He has acted on and off screen and has been on British stages several times. If you’ve seen Dogma, Galaxy Quest, Love Actually, and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy where he plays the voice of Marvin, The Paranoid Android you know he has a funny side too. But we all know him as the evil Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films, but off camera he’s a sweet person. The man has never been married and has no children.
"You can act truthfully or you can lie. You can reveal things
about yourself or you can hide. Therefore, the audience recognizes something
about themselves or they don't -- You hope they don't leave the theatre thinking
'that was nice...now where's the cab?
-Alan Rickman
