Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman (born February 21, 1946) is an English stage and screen actor.
Early life background
Rickman was born in Hammersmith, London to a working-class family; his father was Irish Catholic and his mother was Welsh and a Methodist; there was consequently a religious tug-of-war between his parents. His father died when Rickman was eight years old, and his mother raised him afterwards.
Rickman attended the Chelsea College of Art and made his way as a graphic artist in Soho. He received a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) which he attended from 1972 - 1974. While there, he won the Emile Littler Prize, the Forbes Robertson Prize, and the Bancroft Gold Medal. Since then, he has been a constant presence on the British stage. A speech defect, an unusual tightness of his jaw, has been credited with giving him his truly unique voice and line delivery.

Am I the only one who felt sorry for Alan Rickman in Die Hard? Seemed like his life was all figured out when he faked that American accent.
