One of my favourite actors, in all sorts of films:
Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility with Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson. I watched that again last week whilst I was ill. Possibly my favourite role for him.

Emma Thompson's husband in Love Actually - we always watch it at Christmas, and so that has been on recently too. Brother-in-law to Hugh Grant's Prime Minister, you'd think he would have known better than be tempted by this little minx!

Kids everywhere will remember him as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films.

He starred as Louis XIV in A Little Chaos, with Kate Winslet, which I also watched last week on Netflix whilst I was ill. He directed this film as well as acting in it, and I hadn't seen it before - I liked it.

Another great talent lost - but we have one last film to look forward to, I understand, as Eye In the Sky will come out later this year, also starring Helen Mirren.

A fantastic actor, and that voice!
Do you know "Truly Madly Deeply"? I love this film...and he is SO good in it! I have written a post about this too. A great loss to the actig world.
Mmm, I liked Sense and Sensibility best too but he was great whatever he was in.
A very gifted guy - he'll be missed
He was so versatile. My faves were Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
I loved him as Colonel Brandon!!! His voice reminded me of my favorite actor, JJ Feild!
