not Alan Rickman as well

First saw him as Mr Slope in The Barchester Chronicles, superb.

I always remembered how he said "Puddingdale" Luckily someone has uploaded it to youtube.

Distantly related to Uncle Alan, a cousin several hundred times removed on my Mum's side (her maiden name is Rickman). Only met him the once, but a friendly, nice guy, and there aren't enough like that left in the World.

RIP Hans Gruber.

I had to google for the reference, and it turns out you both got it (slightly) wrong.

Yes agree, together with Juliet Stevenson they made "Ghost" look second rate.

I thought Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi made Ghost look second rate.

Edit - ok, maybe not Whoopi.

Dogma..he was brilliant in that super film

I have never seen it repeated on TV, a shame as it was a good film. I think the director was Antony Minghella who died years ago. I may be totally wrong.

No one does 'voice dripping with sarcasm' like he did. Gorgeous voice RIP Alan.

Memorable lines made better by his voice.

Has made me think a bit as Bowie went at 69. I was thinking of retiring at 67 to put the youngest through Uni but that might only give me 2 years of retirement.......

I'm going to count to three, there will not be a four.
Alas, your Mr. Takagi did not see it that way... so he won't be joining us for the rest of his life.

Can't believe it.
Hans Gruber and the Sheriff of Nottingham - two of the best screen bad guys ever.
He could have been a great Bond villain.
