HarryPotter actor Timothy Spall shares heartwarming memories of his co-star Alan Rickman. 'He was a really charming, very witty, and deeply intelligent and funny man, and also very, very bright — and actually one of the best actors of his time, really.'
Harry Potter star Timothy Spall has shared some of his heart-warming memories of working with the late Alan Rickman. After eight films based on author J.K. Rowling’s best-selling boy wizard series, the entire franchise had utilized the talents of a huge number of beloved and respected actors. As one of the series’ key characters, Rickman played Professor Severus Snape to perfection, uncannily balancing the character’s likeable and detestable traits.
"The one thing I can tell you about Alan, considering that, apart from the tragedy of his loss and losing him at such a young age, really, in this day and age, he practically played so many sinister, rather formidable, terrifying characters — not always, but [he] was brilliant at it. The man himself was so different, [he] was so warm, was so kind and genuinely kind.
