Having been told by several friends what a wonderful actor Alan Rickman is .. one friend even described him as 'lovely', I decided to have a look at some other films. I know him mostly as Snape in the Harry Potter movies, and yes, he is wonderful in that role. As it happens, I had seen some of his earlier movies some time back but the name hadn't stuck in my mind, while others are new to me. Tonight I watched Snow Cake, a very sad but quite wonderful film. One of the things I like is that he is the character he portrays not just some 'star' playing at a role. I'm looking forward to seeing some others.
It's a bit like discovering a writer who has several books out and reading them all starting with the first. Quite a different experience from reading them with a year or so inbetween.

He was wonderful as Colonel Brandon in "Sense and Sensibility" with Emma Thompson. A must see!
