This hits me in the gut. He was so good in every role he played. My fave(although he played a heel) is his role in Love Actually. In Galaxy Quest, he was hysterical. RIP, Mr Rickman. You gave us much pleasure at the movies.

One of the Greats!
Not only as Snape, but also a delightful Sheriff of Nottingham in Robinhood, Prince of Thieves.
