RIP Alan Rickman — Jace Lacob

Yes, he was Snape and Hans Gruber, but when I think of Alan Rickman, I think of his Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility or his Jamie in Truly Madly Deeply or his Harry in Love Actually. I think of his tremendous on-screen partnerships with Emma Thompson and how he could play kings or sad sacks, villains or heroes with equal aplomb. He had a voice that dripped with honey or venom, depending on who he was playing. He was a giant of an actor and he will be missed.

RIP Alan Rickman.
