Daniel Radcliffe Wrote A Tribute To Alan Rickman

If you haven’t heard by now, Alan Rickman died. Sorry about that. He was pretty cool. He was also pretty cool to Daniel Radcliffe on those Harry Potter movies Facebook has told me so much about recently. He was cool in fact that Radcliffe wrote a really touching tribute to Alan Rickman. On Google +, though?  Alan Rickman deserves at leaast Tumblr. Check it out below:



Alan Rickman is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors I will ever work with. He is also, one of the loyalest and most supportive people I’ve ever met in the film industry. He was so encouraging of me both on set and in the years post-Potter. I’m pretty sure he came and saw everything I ever did on stage both in London and New York. He didn’t have to do that. I know other people who’ve been friends with him for much much longer than I have and they all say “if you call Alan, it doesn’t matter where in the world he is or how busy he is with what he’s doing, he’ll get back to you within a day”.





People create perceptions of actors based on the parts they played so it might surprise some people to learn that contrary to some of the sterner(or downright scary) characters he played, Alan was extremely kind, generous, self-deprecating and funny. And certain things obviously became even funnier when delivered in his unmistakable double-bass.





As an actor he was one of the first of the adults on Potter to treat me like a peer rather than a child. Working with him at such a formative age was incredibly important and I will carry the lessons he taught me for the rest of my life and career. Film sets and theatre stages are all far poorer for the loss of this great actor and man.

*sniff* Screw you, Potter. Real thugs who write celebrity gossip sites aren’t suppose to shed tears while they’re waiting for their macchiato to cool. Long story short, Alan Rickman was a great actor and an ever greater human being. Oh, and I posted Emma Watson pics, because she also paid tribute to Alan Rickman only to get shit from dudes who spend $25 on a date then expect a woman to give them at least $24.50 worth of ass before she goes home. My only defense for that is I guess therapists who will help you with your insecurities probably cost more.
