Profiles in Cinemania: Alan Rickman

Verifier Andy, Master Illuminator, presents a Profile in Cinemania on one of the most publicly-respected and well spoken-of sources of CINEMANIA, Alan Rickman. Millennials and GenZ knew Rickman best for his role as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies; whereas GenX knew him best for his role as Hans Gruber in 1988's "Die Hard" (and to a somewhat lesser extent, his role as Alexander Dane / Dr. Lazarus in "Galaxy Quest). Rickman was a consummate practitioner of his craft and as word would have it, an all-around decent chap.
