Also 69, also cancer.

[ThatNickGuy]

Fucking hell.

 

[Dave]

I just heard this. Fucking hell. Snape, noooooooo!

Damn it.

 

[strawman]

 

[Lurker]

Cancer sucks.

 

[DarkAudit]

What the hell, man?

 

[General Specific]

Just saw this and was genuinely shocked. Didn't know he was sick.

Man, fuck cancer.

 

[PatrThom]

Also had no idea.
Kati is so disappointed.

[Eriol]

I'm glad I re-watched Die Hard recently. Got another look at him without the effect of "he's gone" goggles.


Still awesome!


Too bad about losing him, as he could have been a great actor for many more years, but at least you can say that he definitely had a great career while he was around.

 

[Dirona]

@Eriol sent me a link about this.

I am beyond greatly displeased. I don't have a long list of favourite actors, but he's definitely near the top.
Bugger.

 

[PatrThom]

And according to Wikipedia, he's been a one-woman man for almost 40 years.
...I don't know how relevant it might be, but it's certainly remarkable.

January 2016 has a strong lead for being nominated the worst month ever.

My best friend and I got to meet him after we saw him in a Broadway show in the early 2000's. (I need to dig through my Playbills, I forget the name.) He was soft-spoken but had that great dry sense of humor, teasing me when my camera was acting up. I'm going to miss him and his work.

 

[Bubble181]

Well, this came out of left field for me. Blegh. 16's off to a crappy start as far as celebrity deaths go. Really sad

 

[fade]

Aww, I did like him. One of my favorite villains by him was Marston from Quigley Down Under. Master of the slimy bad guy.

 

[Dave]

My favorite role of his was the METATRON!

 

[bhamv3]

Robin Hood for me. He was awesome in that movie, it was obvious he was having so much fun in the role.

Dammit, this sucks so fucking much.

 

[Dei]

I think today I will watch Galaxy Quest.

 

[drawn_inward]

So many great roles: Die Hard, Robin Hood, Galaxy Quest, Dogma, Potter, Quigley, HHG2G.

One of my favorites for sure.

 

[Bubble181]

HHG2G.

Hey!

 

[drawn_inward]

Hey!

That, good sir, is the correct acronym.

 

[Bubble181]

My acronym choice is supported by Neil Gaiman. Yours by nobody at all, according to Wikipedia. Pfuih!

 

[Adam]

My morning with this news.

 

[Covar]

That's it, Christmas is cancelled!

 

[IronBrig4]

By Grabthar's hammer, he shall be avenged

 

[sixpackshaker]

Robin Hood for me. He was awesome in that movie, it was obvious he was having so much fun in the role.

Dammit, this sucks so fucking much.

He was the only bright spot in such a disappointing movie. Hell HE should have played Robin Hood. Alan would be such a good actor to play a charismatic killer.

 

[Just Me]

By Grabthar's hammer, fuck cancer!

 

[Sara_2814]

He was awesome in any role. He made Snape a sympathetic character. I think Alexander Dane/Dr. Lazarus in Galaxy Quest was my favorite though.

 

[GasBandit]

Well, shit.

 

[Ravenpoe]

Well, shit.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Frank]

 

[Jax]

Damn, didn't believe it at first when I heard the news. Shit, indeed.

 

[Emrys]

What the hell?!

You're in good company for being wrong.

 

[Yoshimickster]

Guess god is completely mute now, damn shame.
