a worthwhile bonus & epilogue: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zr-FfqWH3bOyfZs.html

True story... someone told me when I was a film student that they'd met Alan Rickman and gave him a copy of a short film that I'd made. About a month later I got a handwritten letter in the mail from Mr. Rickman telling me that he enjoyed my film. I was blown away that he did that.

I so wish Alan Rickman had done audiobooks, I could listen to him all day.

There are times when you realize that Alan Rickman had the best male voice in the history of the human race.

I always wished we could have seen him play Sherlock Holmes. Think of it - sharp profile, penetrating gaze, commanding-yet-understated voice, disdainful, superior attitude - what else could you ask for from any Holmes?

I could listen to him read a phone book.

Alan Rickman is one of my favourite people to ever exist.

If there ever was an actor recognizable by voice it was he. That creaking, deep tone which spoke every word with amazing clarity and nuance. He spoke poetry.

We lost one of the best actors of our lifetime when Alan died. He was a wonderful, talented, and genuine human being.

Alan deserved an Oscar for his voice alone

The consistent thing I hear about this man is, "He's a wonderful person". Every video, documentary or interview with costars, it's the same, "What a wonderful human being". RIP Mr. Rickman. We miss you!

Wow. What a beautiful human being and a gorgeous man.

am I the only that's crying? "After all this time?" Always....

I loved alan’s voice, I could listen to him for hours

Alan's one of only about three actors I can think of that truly disappear into their characters.

I adore that you can really sense that his parting words of good luck in this aren't sardonic or disdainful but truly well-meaning and valiant. An actor, a noble and truly a massive loss.

Okay, actually almost got teary eyed after hearing the one man say that Rickman was the only actor who ever wanted to be his friend. You just sometimes assume the worst because so many people seem to think they're better than others once 'they've made it', but that is so sweet.

He was such a beautiful person, such a talented actor, such an attractive man... Huge loss for the world. Love him. Always.

The man with the velvet voice....

I still cry every time I see him in something. Don't think that will ever stop. 💔 There was just something uniquely special about him...

*_"...and call off Christmas!"_* My favourite (and imo the best) Nottingham ever played...

I started sobbing watching this and I'm crying as I write. It's not fair! We didn't have him long enough and it hurts. He really was the best actor ever. Only the fools don't understand him.

The best man. His voice is legendary, but he had such talent. I will forever miss him.

I started to tear up when the guy was telling the story of when Alan had a stroke. He didn't want to ruin the mood, make people sad or have it be a burden, so he didn't tell people he had cancer. He is just so genuine and sweet. I wish I could have met him someday. Seems like such an angel. Lost but never never never forgotten.❤️

Absolutely no one could have played the part of Professor Snape better than he did. Alan Rickman was the best and most perfect choice for the part.

So this is what kind of killed me. In one year, just one year: Bowie. Rickman. Nimoy. I'm still not over it.

I just have a major crush on Alan Rickman

Not only do I love his personality, I love the progression of his hair styles. Will always be my Colonel Brandon, no matter how many different adaptations there are.

He has the most beautiful voice ever recorded. And the fact that he's funny, handsome and so inventive as an actor makes him perfect.

I loved his unique honey-smooth voice. He left a huge void.

He just had this.. Halo around him.. He just was so contain.. So quite..so charming.. Not in A hurry.. He was just..

He stole every scene he was ever in. Such a loss. Sigh.

I miss him truly, madly, deeply. What a wonderful voice he had. Such a great loss to the acting community, and to all his admirers, like myself. RIP Alan. 🇬🇧🙋💙💙

He could just subtle the HELL out of you. Great actor, and by ALL accounts, a wonderful person. Gone too soon.

...and here I am, crying. So thankful I have had a chance to enjoy his performances. He is missed.

He is gone now for Years but I still wish to see and hear him on screen and on audiobooks his voice and his looks are so much missed thank you for beeing here

In a film about Robin Hood it's a given you're meant to be cheering on Robin Hood as the hero; Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves is the only film about same where I ended up wanting to cheer on the Sheriff of Nottingham but not because of that character being a good person/hero but because Alan Rickman was playing him with some wonderful dark humour in his performance which outshone Kevin Kostner (playing the main character) by miles. RIP Alan Rickman

Melting chocolate voice - exquisite!

I hope that every Alan Rickman fan has had the pleasure of enjoying his wonderful performance in "The Barchester Chronicles."

Rickman was a genius, a master of his art and craft. He was able to recognize and project humanity in all its complexity.

He’s not an aggressive guy,. He’s calm and enjoying what he does. He very reserved, but he’s so amazingly ENglish. We see things and humor in a very different way. Truly Miss this guy. And yes, the Sheriff of Nottingham as so funny... ! Really miss him! Bless you!

You can always tell an actor who evolved off the stage and masterful work versus a movie star who evolved off of photographs and casting couches. Rickman was a legend, lost before he was ever truly recognized as having begun. He touched many lives.

2:17 You gotta love his "Fucking hell, what a pain in the ass" expression.

That voice!!! And those lips!! Such a handsome man!!

He was born for the craft. Wow, look how young! And his baritone voice really made him stand out. Brilliant actor...with comedy, being devilish, drama, whatever his role, he owned it.

If there was ever a celebrity worth while, Alan would be it.

Today, 5 years ago, the world became poorer, lonelier, darker ... because we lost a wonderful shining star. I still love and miss him, just as much as I've done every day since January 14th, 2016 ... and tears are already running ... 💔 After all this time ... Always💔

RIP Alan Rickman... you will always be remembered! Truly remarkable actor and person...

I just love him, he is not only a great actor, he has the sexiest voice

I fell in love with him …after seeing Truly madly deeply way way back in the day …….what a wonderful talent he was …

Kate's speech was touching, sweet and funny. Lovely tribute and lovely memory of Alan. ❤️

Such a beautiful man. The world lost a magnificent craftsman. He will be missed so much. Oh, and I loved him in Blow Dry. Talk about being versatile.

GOD… I miss him, his spirit and soul and talent.

The Rickman! What an absolute blessing to have seen him act and what an absolute waist that he's gone. That guy oozed talent. A lot more than some actors today.

I thought its impossible to miss someone you have never met before in person,then Alan Rickman happened..💔💔😭😭

He was a legend. Thanks for this🙏

I was truly sad when Mr. Rickman died. I appreciated every performance of his. He was simply grand.

Humble, funny, poignant, caustic, a darling, a voice like black velvet, deep , the most excellent of characters, what to say? RiP Alan Rickman, we would have loved to see more formidable films you could have made... miss your all forever.

Few actors have the power, depth, and range of this master-of-his-art.

That voice

He is such a treasure. And after all these years, I can never let him go. We miss you Alan, always ❤

"What are you?" "I'm PISSED OFF THAT'S WHAT I AM." When I heard that I practically shit out my lung it was so hilarious I legit never expected to hear that coming out of his mouth EVER in my life😂 (Now let me remind you, people, that this man played so many serious characters like Severus Snape but to hear THAT from him, it makes me love him even more😭)

He had the sweetest smile and soft voice. I miss him

I like him as an actor a lot! And I "love" his voice, "actually" 🙂

I'm a simple girl. I see Alan Rickman. I click.

I miss his film presence but I especially miss his beautiful, velvety voice - so sad he’s no longer with us.

what am amazing, wonderful, handsome man he was, i wish i had the chance to know him.

Fantastic video. I was one of the people that grew up with Harry Potter and always knew just from Alan's acting that there was more to Snape. So I defended him almost religiously to my friends that were absolutely convinced Snape was 100% evil, and I was very pleased to see how the character developed, and even more pleased to see Alan bring it to such life on-screen. The day the news broke that he died was one of the saddest days for me. I will always be a huge fan of his. He was truly unique and the world is poorer for his loss.

he had a legendary voice his great acting and charm

Oh my God I feel in love with these smile ALAN Rickman IS THE BEST

Fantastically put together. Your passion exudes from these videos.

Tom cruise: I do all my own stunts! Aren't I amazing?!?!?! Alan Rickman: um... Possibly, tom.

One minute in and I'm crying.

It’s true; you never catch him “acting”.

At the Barbican Theatre gift shop in London, many years ago, i heard That Voice behind me, politely saying “ ‘Scuse me please” as he gently patted my shoulder. It was really crowded-“a frightful crush,” and he sauntered to the cashier. My friends were whispering What’s he buying ? I peered over and saw he was buying a handful of postcards-featuring himself! So i always thought he must be conceited ….only later I discovered that he was a genuine gentleman. Friends told me to never wash the jacket where he patted my shoulder.

Such a brilliant actor. Rest in Peace Alan Rickman. Always.

I did a scene with him. I was amazed how he transformed himself into the character.

This voice!!

What a legend

I’ve watched so much Harry Potter that all I hear when he speaks is Snape’s voice but a ‘happier’ idk how to explain it

He made every character believable

"I'm just not sure there's anywhere else to go after the Sherriff of Nottingham," Oh, what a humble angel of a man..

What a beautiful man I cried for a week on hearing his passing.

It was always so easy to fall in love with his characters. He was easily recognized in each of them and yet none of them were the same. There are some I could name who always play themselves regardless of the role. It was fun the first time or two but soon becomes impossibly stale.

What an awesome voice. He should have played The Doctor at least one season, that voice suggests such timeless perspective.

I didn't watch any Harry Potter movies but I know Alan was a major character. Seeing his contributions to theater I add he was the wizard/sorcerer of film acting. He had us under his spell

He travelled so far just to support his co-stars when they were on stage. Patrick Breen had me crying.

Thank you for sharing this. I had loved Alan Rickman in Harry Potter Franchise. And this even makes me want to see more of his movies. But more so, today there have been a few things in my mind, mostly financial. And I think videos like this or even reminders like this are so important to make us re-realize that every thing is frail really. And the best we can do really is, cherish the beautiful experiences that surround us and make our life. Because that's the only thing that you can ever really taste and never, ever get too much of That's the only thing that leaves a lasting print, on us and on everything around us I felt like I had a really great dinner to be honest, in just reflecting on this video and every little insight that came with it. So, thank you. I feel bleesed

Rickman turned a receding jaw, huge nose, small eyes, and a childhood speech impediment into a career, with thr help of a stylist and voice coach. He lived with, then finally married a laid back 70s gal. Maybe he didn't cheat on Rima, but got to "experience" lots of other women while making himself a multimillioaire. Alan, you dog! He was a good actor, and wonder what other great roles he could have done. ❤️

We will never see his like again, especially as the industry now stands

Snape turned out to be the greatest tragic hero of the 21st century. And ONLY RICKMAN had the talent to play him.

I brought my son to see him in the Gate Theatre in Dublin and was very lucky to meet him in the street afterwards. A gentleman.

This voice...... OMG.... Unforgettable.... Everything in him is unforgettable.... I miss him so much 😭😭😭

5 years after he passed and I still cry over him. What Alan did for me no other man can. Plus he was the best actor I've ever sern

I’m gonna miss this guy forever!!!! Damn he was very good at this job. Alan could play anybody on screen. There isn’t a character he couldn’t do. 😂

"You have to start to learn courage... yeah because you have to be courageous with yourself".... ❤❤❤❤❤💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I always enjoyed his performances. He's a very talented, charismatic, very interesting actor. He always was my focus of every scene he was in.

Fantastic actor and man. Love all of his movies. His voice! Forever missed and loved

I love the old Bobbie Wygant interview from the DieHard movie. We lost Bobbie about 3 weeks ago. Many Hollywood actors loved her. She was at Channel 5 Dallas Fort Worth

R.I.P. Alan...a favorite line from "Bottle Shock"... "because I'm British and, well, you're not".
