For me it was his best role.
Tell a person that you're the Metatron and they stare at you blankly. Mention something out of a Charlton Heston movie and suddenly everybody is a theology scholar.
:notworthy:

I'm inclined to agree.

It's a very underrated film, with surprising amounts of theological depth underneath all the dick jokes.

...and the best ever portrayal of God. And George Carlin.

But Hans Gruber will always be my fav

I loved him in everything he did I don't ever recall him giving a poor performance. He could chill you at ten paces without speaking. He even looked uncannily like Eamon DeValera in Michael Collins. Huge loss

My favourite Alan Rickman story - and one that's not well (or at all) known, is from when they were shooting Michael Collins. A guy I worked with at the time went down to see if he could get in as an extra, and during one scene one of the other extras fixes Rickman with a steely glare and declares:

"You're not Eamonn De Valera".






(drum roll)






"You're THE SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM!"


Cue uproarious laughter, etc. Wrecked the scene, of course. :D
