Alan Rickman, Professor Severus Snape
Has been in a relationship with Rima Horton since 1965. The pair share a home in London.
Rickman excelled at calligraphy and watercolour painting. Before becoming an actor, he studied graphic design at Chelsea College Of Art And Design and at the Royal College Of Art, forming a successful graphic design company, Graphiti, with several friends.
Although a highly successful film actor, he has frequently passed up film offers to return to the theater (a place and activity which he calls “magical” and his “first love”).
In Die Hard, he is seen firing a gun only twice (in the atrium when Gruber realizes Holly is John’s wife and the “shoot the glass” scene), due to his uncontrollable habit of flinching when the gun recoiled. In that scene he blinks just before the camera cuts.
For the shot where Hans Gruber falls from the top of the building in Die Hard, was actually dropped by a stuntman from a 20-foot high model onto an air bag. To get a genuine surprised look, the stunt man dropped him on the count of two instead of three.
Had cello lessons for his part in Truly Madly Deeply, and while he handles the right (bowing) hand, the left hand is provided by a real cellist standing behind him with his arm through Alan Rickman’s armpit.
Was given the role of Professor Severus Snape in Harry Potter only after Tim Roth backed out.
Wears black contact lenses for the role of Snape. Director Mike Newell was not aware that Alan Rickman wore them for the role of Snape until one day, when he was complimenting Alan on the amazing shade of his eyes, Alan leaned over and popped one of the lenses out.
He is 11 years older than Timothy Spall, 12 years older than Adrian Rawlins and Gary Oldman, 17 years older than David Thewlis, and 21 years older than Geraldine Somerville. Nevertheless, the character that the six of them play in the Harry Potter films are meant to be contemporaries and former classmates.
DH SPOILER! Not long after Alan Rickman started to play Severus Snape in the first Potter movie (released in 2001), J.K. Rowling told Rickman some character secrets about Snape that would not be otherwise revealed until the last book. Most significantly, for over seven years, Rickman was one of the very few people other than Rowling to know (years ahead of the last book’s publication) that Snape had been in love with Lily Evans (later Potter) when they were students at Hogwarts, and both Snape’s protection of and antagonism toward Harry came from that. Rowling said that she shared this information with Rickman because “he needed to understand, I think, and does completely understand and did completely understand where this bitterness towards this boy, who’s living proof of [Lily’s] preference for another man, came from.”
Research to find “the perfect voice” has indicated that Rickman’s voice is one of the best contenders. The combination of his voice along with Jeremy Irons’s voice was deemed the perfect male voice based on intonation, trustworthiness, and soothingness.(Amennnnn.)
OMG. He was almost NOT Snape D:. And he wears contacts for the role and told no one?! LOVE YOU ALAN :D. THOSE TWO LAST FACTS BLOW MY MIND.
*lick
DAY WAS MADE BECAUSE OF THIS.
i mean it.
A GRAPHIC DESIGNER? LIKE ME? :D
“…completely understand where this bitterness towards this boy, who’s living proof of [Lily’s] preference for another man, came from.”
