Alan Rickman is dead: goodbye to the actor who played Severus Snape in the Harry Potter saga

The English actor and director Alan Rickman, known to most for his interpretation of Severus Snape in the saga of the famous Harry Potter wizard, passed away at the age of 69.

The English interpreter died yesterday, January 13, due to cancer, as the family announced in an official statement. Beloved for the role of Snape, to which Rickman owes his popularity, Rickman's career is actually studded with blockbusters, including Reason and sentiment, Love Actually And Robin Hood, which also earned him a Bafta.
