Some guys were just born to play the bad guy and Rickman has been doing it exceptionally well over the years. From Dumbledore’s killer to the evil Sheriff, here are Al’s five best baddie performances…
5. Hans Gruber
So Alan Rickman didn’t think he was the villain in Die Hard…
But we think he was.
4. Eamon de Valera
Yeah, he sold you down the swanny, Michael…
3. Judge Turpin
How could you do that to Johnny Depp, Alan? What the hell is wrong with you? Nice voice though…
2. Sheriff of Nottingham
Is it wrong that we still think Rickman is a little bit hot even though he’s entirely evil? Yeah, we reckon it might be wrong.
1. Snape
He killed Dumbledore for the love of sweet God, do we really need another reason?
But we like Alan Rickman you say? Well we all know why. One role changed our whole perception of the actor who went from most evil man ever to knight in shining armour. Oh, Colonel Brandon. You can come and read poetry to us in the front garden anytime. Swoon.
