British actor Alan Rickman has died, his agent confirmed to NBC News. He was 69.

I first saw him as Hans Gruber in Die Hard and have always remembered him.

A big loss to us all, and one actor my wife and I will certainly miss.

We first saw and enjoyed the acting of Alan Rickman in 1985 at the Royal Shakespeare theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, when Rickman was performing the role of Jaques in Shakespeares "As You Like It." What a performance! After, I turned to my wife and said,"We'll see this guy in a movie soon."

RIP Mr. Rickman...

R.I.P., Mr. Rickman.

The man had such a presence, and his bone dry humor will be missed.

Maggie Smith's humor might be the only competition...sad news!

From Die Hard to Harry Potter to Dogma (one of my all time favs), this one sucks. RIP Mr. Rickman.
