When it comes to actors that brought their presence in every role, there may not be a better example than Alan Rickman. Rickman made his break into Hollywood with the iconic role of the evil Hans Gruber in Die Hard (more about that below!) but that was only one of the countless characters that the talented actor help bring to life.

There was no doubt that Rickman had an incredible talent for playing a variety of characters, but it would be impossible to go very much longer without mentioning the outstanding role that Rickman played with the character of Severus Snape. Arguably the most complex character from the immensely popular Harry Potter series, Rickman not only nailed the role, but he did so in such a fashion that it seemed like there never could have been anyone else that was even considered.
It is with a heavy heart that the world lost Alan Rickman on January 14th, 2016. Rickman was 69 years old when he passed away of cancer.
Rickman leaves behind a legacy not only on the big screen. He also was much loved for both his roles in television as well as on stage. Clearly the actor, who didn’t make his big break in Hollywood until his 40s, was talented enough to make his way no matter the medium.
With a life full of iconic roles, there is no shortage of amazing things that Alan Rickman has accomplished in his life that you might not know about. Here are only 10 little tidbits from the incredible life that Rickman lived.
10. There Was Almost A Nimoy/Rickman Project
Two of the most iconic names that have unfortunately passed away in the last year are Leonard Nimoy and Alan Rickman. It may be interesting to fans that in the 1990s, there was almost a Doctor Who project that was going to star Rickman. The movie would have been directed by Nimoy, and even had a screenplay written by Denny Martin Flinn, who co-wrote the 4th Star Trek film. While the film never came to fruition, that obviously could have been an incredibly cool experience and it is interesting to think about how that role may have impacted Rickman’s life.
