Makes me miss Alan Rickman
He was the best movie baddie for a stretch, there. His "Sheriff of Nottingham" in the Kevin Costner remake of Robin Hood was AWESOME! His genocidal cattle rancher in Australia (they call ranches "stations" in OZ), "Elliott Marston," in Tom Selleck's "Quigley Down Under, was also classic Rickman bad guy. Really, I hadn't seen him in anything else prior to Die Hard and I couldn't believe he wasn't actually German, that's how good he was. :-)
The guy was one of the greats. His Galaxy Quest character Alexander Dane, most famous for playing the alien "Doctor Lazarus" in G.Q., stole that movie.LOL!
Alexander Dane: "There were five curtain calls. I was an actor once, damn it! Now look at me. Look at me! I won't go out there and say that stupid line one more time!
