Rest in peace Professor

"After All this time?"

"Always".


Alan Rickman added 'life' to the character of Professor Severus Snape. The Man who will breathe fresh in our memories for several years from now. Won't he?
A man of words. A wizard with skills. A baritone that reverberated through and through the walls of Hogwartz.
 
C'mon....He'll be missed like a heart misses its beat. 
Won't he?

Get to know about a few untold stories about him:

  •  Rickman's directorial debut "The Winter Guest" marked as a stepping stone in his walk of life. However, Harry Potter put a hold on his film directing career. “Harry Potter got in the way,” said Rickman. “When I said yes to doing that in, I think 2000, there were only three books and I didn’t know if I’d be in the fourth. You can’t direct a film unless you’ve got a year or more of your life, and I would spend several weeks a year on those.” But, despite, He continued to direct in the Theater.
     
  • Although Theater was lurking inside , Alan studied Graphic Design at the RCA between 1968-1969, and his first ambition in life was to grow as a 'Graphic Designer'.
  • Rickman disliked the experience he gathered in the prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company. He preferred to term it "A factory" that doesn't "look after the young actors". It seemed more a Factory to him that churns out product without bothering about the process.
  • Rickman had been in a relationship with Rima Horton since 1965. He shared a home with her at London. 
  • Alan had a speech disability in his childhood years. His lower jaw was very tight which disturbed his speech making his words indistinct and deadened. He continued suffering this slight speech defect till the later years of his life.
