Not a good day for Britain. They've lost another one of their legends to cancer at the age of 69.

He's most well-known for being Snape in the Harry Potter movies, but I'll also remember his role as the main villain in the first Die Hard movie.

Farewell, Half-Blood Prince.

This is upsetting to me. Not only was he, well, Snape, from what I can recall he was, in and of himself, an amusing man. Plus, he apparently played in a few other famous roles, although I cannot name any specifically, due to a lack of familiarity.

This sucks.

:cry: Not a good thing to wake up to. He will be missed terribly.

I had completely forgotten that he was the heavy in two of the Die Hard films.
Another talented actor gone.

Yes, he was in quite a few roles (but I'm terrible at connecting actors to roles, so I can't put them down here) - but most certainly the Harry Potter films come to mind.

Thank you, Alan for making that magical world come to life!

I am not much for names, but the bad guy in DH was wonderfully evil.
