Alan Rickman: More Than 30 Years On Screen

Alan Rickman got a legion of new young fans thanks to his role as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films.

But he'd been a familiar face on British television since 1982 thanks to his role as the Reverend Obadiah Slope in The Barchester Chronicles, and a 1990 role as Jamie in Truly, Madly, Deeply.

He achieved global fame in 1988 when he starred as Bruce Willis' adversary Hans Gruber in Die Hard.

He went on to play two more baddie roles - the sheriff of Nottingham in 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and Rasputin in a 1995 HBO film.

A directorial debut happened in 1995 when he directed Emma Thompson and her mother Phyllida Law in The Winter Guest.

He teamed up with Kate Winslet last year for period drama A Little Chaos, his second film as director.
