British film and theater star Alan Rickman, known for his brilliant
portrayal of villains, has died in London. He was 69 years old. His death
was confirmed Thursday by his agency, Independent Talent Group.
Perhaps best known in the U.S. for his portrayal of Prof. Severus Snape in
the “Harry Potter” films, Mr. Rickman had a long career in Hollywood. In
1988, he starred as the villain Hans Gruber in “Die Hard,” alongside Bruce
Willis. Other notable roles include the sheriff of Nottingham in “Robin
Hood: Prince of Thieves” (1991), Kate Winslet’s devoted admirer in “Sense
and Sensibility” (1995), Emma Thompson’s straying husband in “Love
Actually” (2003) and Louis XIV in last year’s period film with Ms. Winslet
, “A Little Chaos,” which he also directed.

The actor’s family said Mr. Rickman died after a battle with cancer,
according to the Associated Press.
Soon after the announcement, tributes began to pour in on social media. “
There are no words to express how shocked and devastated I am to hear of
Alan Rickman’s death,” author J.K. Rowling wrote on Twitter, “He was a
magnificent actor & a wonderful man.” James Phelps, who played Fred Weasley
in the “Harry Potter” films, also expressed his shock at the news: “
Shocked & sad to hear Alan Rickman has passed away. One of the nicest actors
I’ve ever met.” Fellow Brit Stephen Fry wrote: “What desperately sad
news about Alan Rickman. A man of such talent, wicked charm & stunning
screen & stage presence. He’ll be sorely missed.”
Born in London in 1946, Mr. Rickman trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic
Art before taking some of Britain’s most prestigious stage roles with the
Royal Shakespeare Company. In 1986, he was nominated for a Tony Award for
his role as the seductive Le Vicomte in Christopher Hampton’s adaptation of
“Les Liaisons Dangereuses.” In 2002, he starred in Noel Coward’s “
Private Lives,” which transferred to Broadway after a run in London’s West
End.
In both theater and film, Mr. Rickman made his mark as a director as well.
In 1995, he directed his first film, “The Winter Guest,” starring Ms.
Thompson and Phyllida Law. In 2005, he directed the play “My Name is Rachel
Corrie,” which follows a student activist killed by a bulldozer in the
Gaza Strip.
More recently, Mr. Rickman appeared as Ronald Reagan in “Lee Daniels’s The
Butler” (2013). This year, fans will also find him in the upcoming drone-
warfare thriller “Eye in the Sky,” which is expected to be released in the
U.S. in March, and as the voice of Absolem the Caterpillar” in “Alice
Through the Looking Glass,” set to open in May.
Though never awarded an Academy Award, Mr. Rickman received a nomination in
2011 for his role as Prof. Snape in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows—
Part 2.” In 1991, he won a Bafta for his work in “Robin Hood: Prince of
Thieves,” and in 1996 he received a Golden Globe for the television film “
Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny.”
