I always liked the late character actor Alan Rickman, who first debuted in American cinemas as the sophisticated villain in the original Die Hard movie, in 1988 I think. To younger audiences he was again a baddie in the Harry Potter films.
Having made a few trips to London lately on the business of producing a television series and a film, I’ve been lucky enough to have met people who worked with him.
The opinions were always predicated by a sad sigh, and they were unanimous: an incredible talent and a prince of a guy.
Missed already.
