Prominent Briton actor Alan Rickman died in London on Thursday. Rickmen, who was well known as professor Snape of Harry Potter, was suffering from cancer. The demise of the actor, who was 69, was confirmed by his family members.
With an experience of over 30 years, Rickman was the most admired British actor.
Besides Harry Potter, Rickman acted in Love Actually, Sense and Sensibility, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
Rickman won Emmy, Bafta, Golden Globe and many more awards for his outstanding performance. He never won an Oscar and that became talking point. However, it did not affect Rickman, according to him, ‘Parts win prizes, not actors.’
