Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter in the films, posted a statement on Google+ calling Rickman “one of the greatest actors I will ever work with” and one of the nicest, as well.
“Alan was extremely kind, generous, self-deprecating and funny, And certain things obviously became even funnier when delivered in his unmistakable double-bass,” Radcliffe wrote.
He became a fan favorite with his roles in hit movies such as Harry Potter, Die Hard, Truly Madly Deeply and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
