ncmomo3 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) ALAN RICKMAN!! His voice sounds like soft creamy butter. I could listen to him read a phone book and swoon. :svengo: okay... so butter doesn't make noise, but if it DID, it would sound like his voice.:001_smile: Edited November 9, 2009 by ncmomo3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Alan Rickman...a voice to die for. Plus, the man can play a wicked bad guy (Die Hard) an over the top bad guy (Robin Hood) and the most delicious romantic hero (Sense and Sensibility.) Pretty darn terrific. Adrian Brody does have nice eyes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole M Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I have to pick one? :D Then it will have to be Alan. Julian's just a boy, anyway. Too young for my... oh, wait. This is a family-friendly site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 We're having an arguemen..........er, a discussion on who's the better actor. Dd says that to her, Alan Rickman will always be Colonel Brandon and the Adrien Brody could be anyone. She asserts that this makes AB a better actor. AR is always Colonel Brandon first and foremost to me too, and I think AB is right up there, but AR is classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might change your mind about AR always being Colonel Brandon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidsHappen Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Alan Rickman and since no one else has mentioned it, I really don't think anyone else could have played Snape as well. I am really looking forward to seeing him in the last two movies. I imagine he will be able to pull off the emotional intensity required to make Snape a redeemable character.

Jugglin'5 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Alan Rickman is a perfect Mr. Slope in Barchester Towers. He plays a greasy, oily, flattering clergyman. So add yet another character type to his repertoire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen500 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Alan Rickman. However, his movie Closet Land really bothered me for a while. (Guess he's a good actor, and I wasn't prepared for that kind of movie.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Alan Rickman, without a doubt! Oh no, I have to be the lone disenter. Adrien Brody makes me crazy...even the nose. I love it. ...however, I am huge fan of prominent noses! So, Brody gets some respect for the nose. I mean, the World Series was very enjoyable to me, though I despise the Yankees, because Andy Pettitte was blessed with a lovely sniffer :D.

blossom12 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 My favorite Alan Rickman movie is "Snow Cake" (2006). If you aren't familiar with this one, you are in for a real treat. The whole movie draws you in, but it is Alan who is particularly magnetic and carries the entire film. Tremendous acting by everyone and despite Alan's age, the scene with the next-door neighbor, Maggie, is sizzling. Yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Alan Rickman, of course. I've seen him on stage (in Dangerous Liaisons, playing Valmont) and it was unforgettable. I find the relationship between Rickman's and Emma Thompson's characters in Love, Actually completely heartbreaking. ETA: I think that Rickman has extraordinary range as an actor.

Alphabetika Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 But Adrian has a superb NOSE!!! And the eyes....;) No one can beat Mr. Rickman's voice, though.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Alan Rickman all the way. I love his serious parts, but how can you NOT die laughing at his performance in Galaxy Quest?

Denise in Florida Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Have you seen Truly, Madly, Deeply? You might change your mind about AR always being Colonel Brandon.

Melinda in VT Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 OK, I'm clearly the oddball here. I'll grant you that Alan Rickman is a fantastic actor, but it bothers me to no end that he doesn't open his mouth when he talks. :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty ethel rackham Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Alan Rickman, for sure! No one can top him at playing a villian! Plus, he is so versatile! Ever since Brody came out in support of Roman Pulanski, I can't stand the sight of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolash Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Oh man, I thought I was the only Alan Rickman fan around! :blush5: I've loved everything he's in and will definitely be checking out the audio recording!

Jan in SC Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Rickman is better than Brody, but Jeremy Irons might have them both beat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
